Anlyon alternative
3 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.

check_demandStart here.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The description's first verb is "start": a word for a change.
Description, as the server wrote it Start here. Check whether people have asked for a product and could not buy it. Returns matching exNiche gaps at summary level (verdict, score band, class, trend, source counts, one linked ask) and records your ask as one AI agent search. 1 credit. Never send personal details or synthetic asks.

report_not_foundFree.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.

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 write2
- 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.
- Warnget_dossier

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

Claude Code permissions
Allow the reads, ask before a change or a way out, deny the deletes. Paste into .claude/settings.json.
{
"permissions": {
"allow": [
"mcp__search__list_gaps",
"mcp__search__get_gap",
"mcp__search__search_products",
"mcp__search__get_setup_and_upgrade_links"
],
"ask": [
"mcp__search__check_demand",
"mcp__search__get_dossier",
"mcp__search__report_not_found"
],
"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 search. Review it before you use it.
