## Exfil surface

No private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data or untrusted-input 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. | none |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | none |

## Findings

- **high** Text addressed to the model in `reserve` ([model-directed-text](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#model-directed-text))

```untrusted-server-text
The input schema at properties.handle.description contains "<secret>", a tag of the kind used to mark instructions for the model.

inputSchema.properties.handle.description: "...le from open_budget (looks like bg_<id>.<secret>). Pass it to every sub-agent so they al..."
```

- **high** Text addressed to the model in `record` ([model-directed-text](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#model-directed-text))

```untrusted-server-text
The input schema at properties.handle.description contains "<secret>", a tag of the kind used to mark instructions for the model.

inputSchema.properties.handle.description: "...le from open_budget (looks like bg_<id>.<secret>). Pass it to every sub-agent so they al..."
```

- **high** Text addressed to the model in `budget_status` ([model-directed-text](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#model-directed-text))

```untrusted-server-text
The input schema at properties.handle.description contains "<secret>", a tag of the kind used to mark instructions for the model.

## Changes things (4)

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

### `open_budget`

- The name "open_budget" says "open": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Open a hard budget for one agent run before it starts: max dollars, tokens, calls and/or wall-clock seconds. Returns a handle. Give the handle to every sub-agent; they all draw from the same ledger, so one runaway loop or fork cannot exceed the run cap.
```

### `record`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- Findings: high model-directed-text

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
After a call, report the actual usage minus what you reserved (positive if it cost more, negative to give back an overestimate). Keeps the ledger honest without blocking.
```

### `reserve`

- The description's first verb is "call": a word for a change.
- Findings: high model-directed-text

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Call BEFORE each model call, tool call or sub-agent spawn with your estimate. Returns allowed=true and deducts it, or allowed=false with the limit that tripped. When allowed is false, stop, do not retry, and return your partial result to the user. Atomic, so parallel sub-agents cannot both slip under the cap.
```

### `weekly_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
Draft a plain-English report of the last 7 days for your key (or IP): runs, spend, runs that went over their cap, and dollars spent after a cap would have stopped them. Read-only; sends nothing. Show it to your user.
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `budget_status`

- The name "budget_status" says "status": a word for reading.
- Findings: high model-directed-text

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
See spend vs limits, remaining budget, whether the run is stopped and why, and the last 20 ledger events. Set close=true when the run finishes.
```

### `usage_and_upgrade`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Show today's usage for your key or IP and the $49/month All Access upgrade link (cloudforbots.com/offer). Free tier: 500 calls/day. Not metered.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__budget__budget_status",
      "mcp__budget__usage_and_upgrade"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__budget__open_budget",
      "mcp__budget__reserve",
      "mcp__budget__record",
      "mcp__budget__weekly_report"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-22T15:16:50.015Z, unchanged since 2026-10-22T15:16:50.015Z. 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://budget.cloudforbots.com/mcp: tools/list returned 6 tools to an anonymous client, including open_budget (write), reserve (write), record (write), weekly_report (write)
```
