## Exfil surface

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

| 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. | `mcp__countersignatory__countersignatory_place_order` |

## Findings

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

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

description: "...and bot checks, logging in or entering credentials, contacting third parties, medical, leg..."
```


## Changes things (3)

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

### `countersignatory_place_order`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.webhook_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
Buy one task from a verified human in a market whose state is live on the spot index: an approval (should this action go ahead), a verification (does this page, document or screenshot show X), or a judgment (which is better, or which label applies). The order is priced at current spot and created unpaid; nothing is charged by this call. The response carries a checkout_url a person can open to pay by card. Once paid it is answered by hand within the SLA, or refunded in full. Read the answer with countersignatory_get_order. Refused at intake: CAPTCHAs and bot checks, logging in or entering credentials, contacting third parties, medical, legal or financial advice, anything sexual or involving minors.
```

### `countersignatory_register_interest`

- 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
Record that you would buy. Send the quote_id from a countersignatory_quote response to say the quoted price would clear your use case. For a market on the spot index whose state is opening, which cannot be quoted yet, send its market id instead. This is the demand signal that decides which markets open first.
```

### `countersignatory_spot_index`

- 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
The public Countersignatory Spot Index: the going rate for verified human judgment by market, with the urgency and off-hours multipliers, the published wage floor, and the derivation of every seeded number. Use it for the reference rate table across all markets; use countersignatory_quote when you have a specific task and need a price for it.
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `countersignatory_get_order`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read one order by the id countersignatory_place_order returned: its status (awaiting_payment, paid, in_progress, answered, refused, refunded or expired), its price, how to pay while it is unpaid, and once answered the answer, the reason, and who gave it and how they are disclosed. A consensus order returns each responder's answer and the majority.
```

### `countersignatory_quote`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get the current spot price to have a verified human check, agree on, sign off or notarise something. Use when an agent needs human judgment, accountability or a signature, and needs to know the cost and time before committing. Returns an indicative price, a band, what would clear at a lower bid, and the implied rate per human minute.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__countersignatory__countersignatory_quote",
      "mcp__countersignatory__countersignatory_get_order"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__countersignatory__countersignatory_register_interest",
      "mcp__countersignatory__countersignatory_spot_index",
      "mcp__countersignatory__countersignatory_place_order"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__countersignatory__countersignatory_place_order`: outbound

| 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` |

- **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://countersignatory.com/mcp: tools/list returned 5 tools to an anonymous client, including countersignatory_register_interest (write), countersignatory_spot_index (write), countersignatory_place_order (write)
```
