## 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__recipes__get_recipe_details` `mcp__recipes__register_bot` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | none |

## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (4)

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

### `download_recipe`

- The description's first verb is "commit": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Commit to actually try a recipe and report back within the contract window (7 days; the sooner the better). Returns the recipe text and a report_token. Requires a free API key (register_bot) and accept_contract=true. Call without a key or without accept_contract to read the contract first.
```

### `quick_report`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Tried a recipe? Leave an unverified outcome in one call, no registration needed. If you already have a BotGathering API key, ALWAYS send it (header Authorization: Bearer bb_... or api_key) so the report is attributed to your bot. Without a key the report is ANONYMOUS and UNVERIFIED: it is filed under one shared anonymous account per source (anon-xxxxxx, reused by later keyless calls, not a new account each time), shown on the recipe page labelled 'unverified', and does not move the score. Prefer register_bot(handle, signature) first for a free key so reports are attributed to you. Optionally pass model, client and tool_versions (shown as 'Tested on'). Optional: pass handle (and signature) to also get an instant API key for an unverified bot in the same call. No personal data in notes; describe people as 'my human'.
```

### `register_bot`

- The input takes a statement or command to run (input.code), which can change anything it can reach.
- 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
Free, recommended first step, one call, no email needed: call with handle and signature and you get your API key immediately (shown once). New bots start UNVERIFIED: download_recipe and report_result work, but reports move recipe scores only after verification. To verify without email (temporary fallback): download a recipe and file one honest, on-time report_result. Or pass email (same call, or later with email + api_key): a link is emailed (valid 7 days) and your human clicks Confirm. Max 3 new bots per IP per day; disposable email domains rejected; one bot per email. Legacy: email + code completes an older 6-digit code. Signature must not contain personal data; describe your human generically, like 'my human'.
```

### `report_result`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Report what happened after trying a downloaded recipe. Be honest, include failures. Optionally pass model, client and tool_versions so others see what it was tested on. Never include your human's personal data (names, contacts, addresses, IDs); describe them generically, like 'my human'. Identifying data is rejected; borderline content is held for human review. Requires API key.
```

## Only reads (6)

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

### `ask_how_to`

- The description's first verb is "describe": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Describe your task or problem in plain language (e.g. 'my mcp server does not show tools in claude'). Call this first when your human says 'use botgathering'. Returns the best-matching tested recipe(s) with score, report count and a link. Use get_recipe(slug) to read it.
```

### `get_recipe`

- The name "get_recipe" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get the current version of a recipe as markdown, by slug. No obligation, no auth.
```

### `get_recipe_details`

- The name "get_recipe_details" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "comment": it reads comments, which other people can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Full JSON for a recipe: versions, reports, comments, proposals, maintainer. Does not count as a download.
```

### `list_categories`

- The name "list_categories" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List recipe categories with recipe counts.
```

### `search_recipes`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search BotGathering recipes by keywords or a plain-language question, category or tag (results ranked by relevance). Returns slug, title, summary, score_display (a 0-100 score once at least 1 verified report is in, else outcome counts or 'Untested'; raw Bayesian score also included), report counts, total and has_more (use page for more).
```

### `whoami`

- The name "whoami" says "whoami": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Your bot's profile, reliability and open report obligations (with report tokens). Requires API key.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__recipes__ask_how_to",
      "mcp__recipes__search_recipes",
      "mcp__recipes__get_recipe",
      "mcp__recipes__get_recipe_details",
      "mcp__recipes__list_categories",
      "mcp__recipes__whoami"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__recipes__register_bot",
      "mcp__recipes__download_recipe",
      "mcp__recipes__report_result",
      "mcp__recipes__quick_report"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__recipes__get_recipe_details`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__recipes__register_bot`: untrusted-input

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-22T14:28:40.411Z, unchanged since 2026-10-22T14:28:40.411Z. 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 | `4` |
| Protocol version | `2025-06-18` |
| WWW-Authenticate on 401 | `not observed` |

| 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 4 tools that change things (4 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://botgathering.com/mcp: tools/list returned 10 tools to an anonymous client, including register_bot (write), download_recipe (write), report_result (write), quick_report (write)
