**6 tools: 3 change things and 3 only read.**

## Exfil surface

1 private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound path in this server alone. Denying 1 outbound tool breaks every one: `mcp__news__check_skill`.

| Tag | Meaning | Tools |
| --- | --- | --- |
| private-data | Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories. | `mcp__news__get_tool` |
| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | `mcp__news__check_skill` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | `mcp__news__check_skill` |

| Private data | Untrusted input | Outbound |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `mcp__news__get_tool` | `mcp__news__check_skill` | `mcp__news__check_skill` |

## Findings

- **info** The word "credentials" in `check_skill` ([credentials-mention](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#credentials-mention))

```untrusted-server-text
The description mentions "credential".

description: "...gs (script files, network calls, secret/credential access, prompt-injection text, hidden o..."
```


## Changes things (3)

Creates or changes something that can be changed back. Claude Code: ask.

### `check_skill`

- 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.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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.
```

### `daily_brief`

- 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.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
What changed for a developer's stack: security notes, breaking changes, model releases, new tools and news, tagged by stack (rule-based). Pass the stack tags (e.g. claude-code, mcp, supabase, vercel) and optionally a since date. 30-day window.
```

### `latest_news`

- 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.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Newest AI news stories from Base of AGI (headline, short teaser, date, publisher and the original source URL to cite). Optional category filter.
```

## Only reads (3)

Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow.

### `find_tools`

- The name "find_tools" says "find": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search the Base of AGI catalog of MCP servers, Claude Code plugins, skills and hand-picked agent tools. Each result carries license, commercial_use (derived from the SPDX license), install info exactly as the source states it, and the source repository. Suggest tools to the user; never install without approval.
```

### `get_tool`

- The name "get_tool" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "repository": it reads repositories.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Full catalog record for one tool id returned by find_tools: license, commercial_use, install (as the source states it), repository, stars, last push, preinstalled surfaces.
```

### `search_news`

- The name "search_news" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Full-text search over the Base of AGI news archive (since early 2026; headlines in all four languages, teasers for the last 45 days). All query words must match. Newest first among equal matches.
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `news`:

```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": []
  }
}
```

Capability tags behind the rules (a read tagged outbound is asked about):

- `mcp__news__get_tool`: private-data
- `mcp__news__check_skill`: untrusted-input, outbound

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-22T14:28:16.365Z, unchanged since 2026-10-22T14:28:16.365Z. No credentials were sent and no tool was called. Values are shown as the endpoint returned them. Method: https://anlyon.dev/methodology#remote-posture

| Fact | Observed |
| --- | --- |
| Reachable | `yes` |
| HTTP status of an anonymous initialize | `200` |
| tools/list served without credentials | `yes` |
| Tools that change things, listed without credentials | `3` |
| Protocol version | `2025-06-18` |
| WWW-Authenticate on 401 | `not observed` |
| resource_metadata in WWW-Authenticate | `none` |
| RFC 9728 protected resource metadata | `none` |
| Authorization servers | `none` |
| Legacy HTTP+SSE transport | `no` |
| Dynamic client registration | `not observed` |
| Client ID metadata documents | `not observed` |

- **warn** Tools that change things, listed to anyone ([unauth-remote-writes](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#unauth-remote-writes))

```untrusted-server-text
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.

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