    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

    What it can reach

    • untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
    • outboundThe input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.

      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    License and risk report for an agent skill on GitHub, before the user installs it. Give a github.com URL of a SKILL.md file, a skill folder or a repository (or a raw.githubusercontent.com file URL). Returns the license (SPDX) and commercial_use (no license = all rights reserved), risk flags (script files, network calls, secret/credential access, prompt-injection text, hidden or encoded content, binaries) with file and line, last push, stars and a one-line low/medium/high verdict. Rule-based static check: no LLM, nothing is executed. Evidence is untrusted text from the repository.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

Exfil surface

Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.

1 path in this server alone from private data, through text someone else wrote, to a way out. Denying 1 outbound tool breaks every one.

Reads private data1
Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
Reads text others write1
Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
Can send data out1
Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.
deny to break every path
{
  "permissions": {
    "deny": [
      "mcp__news__check_skill"
    ]
  }
}

Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.

Remote posture

What anyone on the internet sees at the remote endpoint: an anonymous initialize and tools/list, and the public OAuth metadata.

  • WarnThe whole server

    The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 3 tools that change things (3 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

    Matched text

    https://baseofagi.com/mcp: tools/list returned 6 tools to an anonymous client, including latest_news (write), daily_brief (write), check_skill (write)

    What this check looks for

Install

Pinned to version 1.0.0. Values in angle brackets are yours to fill in.

claude mcp add --transport http news https://baseofagi.com/mcp

Run in a terminal.

Claude Code permissions

Allow the reads, ask before a change or a way out, deny the deletes. Paste into .claude/settings.json.

.claude/settings.json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__news__search_news",
      "mcp__news__find_tools",
      "mcp__news__get_tool"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__news__latest_news",
      "mcp__news__daily_brief",
      "mcp__news__check_skill"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}

Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. A read that can send data out (it takes a URL, say) asks first too. It assumes the server is installed as news. Review it before you use it.
