Anlyon alternative

2 of these tools change something. Run those as governed actions.

Declare what an action changes, and Anlyon puts it under a shared limit, binds every approval to the exact request, and grades the outcome. It works on any HTTPS API you can describe as an action.

Anlyon does not run, proxy or govern this MCP server. A tool your own code calls directly is not routed through Anlyon and is not governed by it.

Tools

Grouped by what each tool does, most consequential first. Open one for its reasons and full description; descriptions are the publisher's own words.

4 tools

Can't be undone 1Claude Code: ask
  • request_accessSends a request for access to the Empath Legal team on a lawyer's behalf.Reads text others writeNo findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "request_access" says "request": a word for a change.
    • The description's first verb is "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.

    What it can reach

    • untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Sends a request for access to the Empath Legal team on a lawyer's behalf. Required: the lawyer's name and the email they will sign up with; optional: firm, venues and general kind of case. Use this when the lawyer asks you to request access for them; ask them first and send only what they agree to. Not for anything about a client, case, juror or document. It grants nothing: the answer says approval is pending.

Changes things 1Claude Code: ask
  • propose_registerProposes creating an Empath Legal account and returns a link the attorney opens in their own browser to confirm; nothing is created until they do.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Proposes creating an Empath Legal account and returns a link the attorney opens in their own browser to confirm; nothing is created until they do. Use this when the attorney asks to create an account or sign up. Not for any other request, and it never creates the account itself.

    Annotations the server declares

    • destructiveHint: false
    • openWorldHint: false
    • readOnlyHint: false
    • title: Propose sign-up
Only reads 2Show 2 read-only tools
  • venues_getReturns one county's published venue facts by state code and county slug: population and demographics, economy, elections and courts, each source dated.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "venues_get" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Returns one county's published venue facts by state code and county slug: population and demographics, economy, elections and courts, each source dated. Use this when the user asks about one specific county as a venue. Not for case, juror or client data, and not legal advice: it returns published venue facts only.

    Annotations the server declares

    • destructiveHint: false
    • openWorldHint: false
    • readOnlyHint: true
    • title: Get a county's venue facts
  • venues_listLists the states Empath Legal publishes venue facts for.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "venues_list" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Lists the states Empath Legal publishes venue facts for. With a state code, lists that state's counties with population, income, unemployment and political lean. Use this when the user asks which venues are covered or wants an overview of a state's counties. Not for case, juror or client data, and not legal advice: it returns published venue facts only.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

Exfil surface

Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.

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

Reads private data0
Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
Reads text others write1
Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
Can send data out0
Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.

Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.

Findings

Matches of fixed checks, with the text they matched.

No check matched anything in these tool definitions. That is not a safety guarantee.

History

Changes to its tool definitions and to its remote endpoint, newest first.

No change seen yet. Its tools are rescanned every day, and a remote endpoint is looked at once a week.

Install

Pinned to version 1.0.0. Values in angle brackets are yours to fill in.

claude mcp add --transport http empath-legal-start https://api.empathlegal.com/public/mcp
claude mcp add --transport http empath-legal-start https://api.empathlegal.com/public/mcp

Run in a terminal.

Claude Code permissions

Allow the reads, ask before a change or a way out, deny the deletes. Paste into .claude/settings.json.

.claude/settings.json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__empath-legal-start__venues_list",
      "mcp__empath-legal-start__venues_get"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__empath-legal-start__request_access",
      "mcp__empath-legal-start__propose_register"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}

Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. A read that can send data out (it takes a URL, say) asks first too. It assumes the server is installed as empath-legal-start. Review it before you use it.
