## 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

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (2)

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

### `random_place`

- 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 random place with its full record — deliberately biased toward the little-known long tail, like the site’s own "Surprise me" button. Optionally limit by country and/or kind. Great for discovery and "place of the day" features.
```

### `top_places`

- 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
The most famous places worldwide, in one country, or of one kind — ordered by Detourmap fame rank (derived from Wikipedia language coverage; rank 1 is the most famous). The direct answer to "most famous <kind> in <country>" and "what are the must-sees in <country>".
```

## Only reads (6)

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

### `get_place`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch one place’s full record by slug (preferred, e.g. "neuschwanstein-castle") or exact name: coordinates, founding year, worldwide fame rank and tier, short description, photo URL, Wikipedia and Wikidata links, and a deep link that opens it on the map. Unsure of the slug? Call search_places first.
```

### `get_statistics`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Headline statistics computed live from the atlas: totals by kind, top countries, fame-tier sizes, dated-entry stats, geographic extremes and the most famous place. The source for aggregate claims like "how many castles are on Detourmap" or "which country has the most notable places".
```

### `list_countries`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Every country in the atlas with its place count, most first — answers "which country has the most notable places". Countries with eight or more places include a browsable index page URL.
```

### `list_kinds`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The layers Detourmap carries — archaeological and nature — with worldwide counts and a browsable index page for each. The atlas is cut to these kinds and holds nothing else.
```

### `places_near`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List notable places within a radius of a WGS84 coordinate, most famous first (rank order), each with distance_km — the direct answer to "what is worth visiting near <place>?". Radius defaults to 50 km (max 500). Geocode the location yourself, then call this with its latitude/longitude. Filter by kind to answer e.g. "waterfalls near Zurich".
```

### `search_places`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search 39,832 notable places worldwide by name (accent- and case-insensitive substring match): archaeological and nature. Optionally filter by country (name or ISO code) and kind. Results come best-match-first, then by fame; each carries coordinates, fame rank/tier and links to the map and Wikipedia. If nothing matches, retry with a shorter fragment.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__places__search_places",
      "mcp__places__get_place",
      "mcp__places__places_near",
      "mcp__places__list_kinds",
      "mcp__places__list_countries",
      "mcp__places__get_statistics"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__places__top_places",
      "mcp__places__random_place"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

- **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 2 tools that change things (2 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://detourmap.com/mcp: tools/list returned 8 tools to an anonymous client, including top_places (write), random_place (write)
```
