## Exfil surface

No private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data or outbound.

| Tag | Meaning | Tools |
| --- | --- | --- |
| private-data | Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories. | none |
| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | `mcp__hotels__hotel_reserve` `mcp__hotels__list_hotels` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | none |

## Findings

- **info** Long descriptions in `list_hotels` ([long-description](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#long-description))

```untrusted-server-text
The description is 8,912 characters long, over the 2,000 this check looks for.

description ends: "...rmation, and book once the guest agrees on that basis — a blank is not a refusal."
```

- **warn** Annotations that disagree with the tool in `list_hotels` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "list_hotels" as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false), and its words say it reads.

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":false,"destructiveHint":false,"openWorldHint":true}; The name "list_hotels" says "list": a word for reading.
```


## Deletes or cancels (1)

Removes, cancels or revokes something. Claude Code: deny.

### `hotel_reserve`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Book a hotel room. Works for ANY offer `list_hotels` gave you an `offerId` for — there is no separate check to make first, so pass the offer the guest chose. Pass that offer’s `offerId` exactly as you were given it — it names the hotel, room, rate, stay and price, which is why none of those are separate arguments. It expires after 30 minutes; if it has expired or the hotel has raised the price since, nothing is booked — get a fresh one by calling `list_hotels` with that same `offerId`, which re-prices just that room rather than showing the guest the whole property again. TWO OUTCOMES, and the reply tells you which. `confirmationNumber` means the room is booked: give the guest the number and tell them they pay the hotel at the desk — nothing has been charged. `paymentUrl` means the room is NOT held yet: give the guest that link to pay, their card is HELD rather than charged, and the booking is placed once they have paid. Set `acceptedTerms` only after the guest has agreed to book this rate. Show them that rate’s cancellation terms where `list_hotels` gave any; where its `cancelTerms` was null we hold none, so say so and that the hotel’s own terms apply, then set it once they agree on that basis — a blank is NOT a reason to refuse the booking. Ask the guest for their own phone number and billing address — the hotel puts them on the reservation and uses them to reach the guest. Never invent them. If a call comes back ambiguous, do NOT call again — a reservation may already exist.
```

## Changes things (1)

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

### `list_hotels`

- The name "list_hotels" says "list": a word for reading.
- The server marks it as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false).
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search hotel properties in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States, and price them for a stay in the same call.

ASK BEFORE YOU SEARCH. Four things are required and this tool answers nothing without them: `checkIn`, `checkOut`, `adults` and `maxPricePerNight`. "Hotels in Berlin for a couple" is not yet a search — it names a place and a party and nothing else, so ask which nights they want, who is coming — adults AND any children, by age — and roughly what they want to spend, in ONE message, and search once they answer. Never fill these in for them: dates you chose are not their dates, and a budget read off "cheap" or off a star rating hides the very hotels they could have afforded. A call missing any of them comes back with no rows and a `hint` naming what is still to be asked.

PLACES. Pass `city` with any place name we cover to get properties around it, nearest first, each with `distanceKm` — despite the name it takes a place of any size, so a village, a resort or a borough ("Silvaplana", "Wals", "Zell am See", "Brooklyn") works as well as a city. `radius` is a value with its unit — {"value": 10, "unit": "mi"} — so you never have to convert; it defaults to 20 km and may not exceed 100 km. Prefer `city` over `query` for place-based searches: it understands about 151,800 places and returns neighbouring towns, whereas `query` only matches words in a name or description. An unresolvable place name returns `placeNotRecognised` — that means the NAME was not understood, not that the place has no hotels. When a radius returns nothing you get `nearestBeyondRadiusKm` so you can widen deliberately rather than guess.

SOMEWHERE SMALLER THAN A TOWN — A STREET, A LANDMARK, A STATION, A DISTRICT — GOES IN `coordinates`, NOT `city`. Sent as a `city`, such a name is either refused or resolved to a different place of the same name, which comes back as a confident answer about somewhere else. Estimate the point yourself, pair it with a small `radius`, and tell the guest you estimated it.

A STAY. `checkIn`, `checkOut` and `adults` are required, and when you ask how many adults, ASK WHETHER ANY CHILDREN ARE COMING TOO and send their ages in `childrenAges` — ages, not a count. A child left out is priced as though they are not coming, so the guest can book a room that will not sleep them. The moment the guest mentions a child, put it in `childrenAges` even if you do not yet know the age — send `null` for that entry: THE SEARCH IS THEN REFUSED until you replace it with the real age, which is what stops a family being quoted as a couple. With those, the answer comes back in TWO groups. `priced` holds the hotels we read real rates for: every room and rate plan with its own `price` for the WHOLE stay, in the `currency` you sent, its `cancelTerms` where we hold any and null where we do not, its photos where we have them, a `bookingUrl` carrying the guest's dates WHERE THIS ENDPOINT PUBLISHES ONE — read that field's own description rather than assuming it is there, because an endpoint that can book the room for you publishes no link for it — and `stayTotal` / `pricePerNight` for the cheapest offer. EVERY PRICE IS IN THE `currency` YOU SENT. They come back in a deliberate order that is NOT nearest first and NOT cheapest first — show them in the order you are given. Show all the rooms you are handed, not just the cheapest. `unpriced` holds everything else: hotels that do not publish rates anywhere we can read, that did not answer us, or that were past the read ceiling. Those are the same thing to you — NONE of them carries a booking link of any kind. What a row carries instead is `websiteUrl`, the property's own site, or an EMPTY `websiteUrl` when we hold no site either and there is nothing to open at all. WHEN YOU RECOMMEND A HOTEL, RECOMMEND A PRICED ONE. We hold no rate for anything in `unpriced`, so you cannot say what it costs and it may be well over what the guest wants to spend; naming one as your suggestion answers… [4912 more characters not shown]
