## 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

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "create_avatar" read-only (readOnlyHint: true), and its own name, description or input give the class "write".

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "create_avatar" says "create": a word for a change.
```

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "share_link" read-only (readOnlyHint: true), and its own name, description or input give the class "write".

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "share_link" says "link": a word for a change.
```

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "render_avatar" read-only (readOnlyHint: true), and its own name, description or input give the class "write".

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The input takes a statement or command to run (input.code), which can change anything it can reach.
```


## Changes things (5)

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

### `avatar_for_name`

- 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
One approved avatar for a name or a user id, the same every time.
```

### `create_avatar`

- The name "create_avatar" says "create": a word for a change.
- The input takes a statement or command to run (input.code), which can change anything it can reach.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
An avatar from attributes, or from a code plus changes. Attribute names and values come from list_attributes; null or "off" switches a part off.
```

### `random_avatar`

- 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.

A template at random, as a code and a preview.
```

### `render_avatar`

- The input takes a statement or command to run (input.code), which can change anything it can reach.

### `share_link`

- The name "share_link" says "link": a word for a change.
- The input takes a statement or command to run (input.code), which can change anything it can reach.

- **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 5 tools that change things (5 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://createavataaars.com/mcp: tools/list returned 8 tools to an anonymous client, including random_avatar (write), create_avatar (write), avatar_for_name (write), share_link (write), render_avatar (write)
