## Exfil surface

No private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data 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. | `mcp__matching-engine__request_attorney_introduction` |
| 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.


## Deletes or cancels (2)

Removes, cancels or revokes something. Claude Code: deny.

### `request_attorney_introduction`

- The name "request_attorney_introduction" says "request": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use only when the user asks to be introduced to ONE specific lawyer AND has seen that lawyer's name, the exact details to be shared and the consent text from get_attorney_profile, then said yes. Never call it on your own initiative or for several lawyers at once. Stores only the authorized fields; retries with the same idempotency_key do not duplicate. IMPORTANT: sending to lawyers is currently switched off, so the introduction is RECORDED, NOT SENT; tell the user and give them the lawyer's phone or profile link. Returns a referral id, its lifecycle_state and a private status token.
```

### `update_matching_preferences`

- The name "update_matching_preferences" says "update": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Save or change matching criteria (location, budget, timing, practice area, language, priorities) for this conversation. No personal contact details. Deleted automatically after 24 hours.
```

## Changes things (3)

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

### `check_attorney_availability`

- 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
Use when the user asks whether a lawyer takes new clients or can meet soon. Returns only what lawyers reported or confirmed, with last-checked time and certainty (reported, tentative, confirmed); unknown when nothing was reported. There is no live calendar access.
```

### `estimate_legal_cost`

- 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
Use when the user asks what a lawyer or a type of matter will cost. Returns only published fees, confirmed quotes or sourced market figures, each labeled; says plainly when there is not enough data instead of guessing. Not a quote.
```

### `submit_matching_feedback`

- The name "submit_matching_feedback" says "submit": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Optional 1-5 ratings on match relevance, lawyer responsiveness, pricing and availability accuracy, satisfaction, and whether the lawyer was hired. No case details.
```

## Only reads (5)

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

### `compare_attorneys`

- The name "compare_attorneys" says "compare": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use when the user asks to compare lawyers from find_attorneys ("which of these is a better fit?"). Compares 2 to 5 lawyers on practice fit, location, years licensed, fees, availability, data confidence and gaps. Pass match_id to use the user's criteria. Says when prices or timing cannot be compared because the data is unknown.
```

### `find_attorneys`

- The name "find_attorneys" says "find": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use when someone wants a lawyer for a U.S. legal matter, e.g. "find an affordable tenant lawyer in Santa Ana" or "I was fired after complaining, who can help in Los Angeles". Needs state and matter type (or a short description). Returns up to 5 licensed lawyers with reasons, a relevance score, a separate data_confidence level, license source and check date, whether they are known to take private clients, directory profile links and a suggested citation, or an honest no-match with legal-aid options. Unknown fees and availability are labeled unknown. Court and government lawyers are left out unless they said they take private clients. Records an anonymous search log only. Not legal advice.
```

### `get_attorney_profile`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use when the user wants details on one lawyer from a match. Returns license status with its official source and check date, private-client intake evidence, practice areas, service area, fees, availability, languages, data freshness, the directory profile link and a suggested citation. Also returns the exact consent text to show before an introduction.
```

### `get_matching_requirements`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use first when someone asks for a lawyer but the state or type of legal matter is unclear ("I need a lawyer", "help me with my landlord"). Returns the few questions still needed (state, matter type, location, timing, budget) and what was understood. Does not answer the legal question and stores nothing.
```

### `get_referral_status`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use when the user asks what happened with an introduction. Returns lifecycle_state (recorded, queued, sent, delivered, responded, consultation_requested, consultation_confirmed, cancelled, completed, failed), whether it reached the lawyer, the lawyer's response and consultation state. Needs the private status_token. A consultation counts only when confirmed.
```

```untrusted-server-text
The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 5 tools that change things (2 destructive, 3 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.
