## 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__cac__check_business_name_compliance` `mcp__cac__check_name_availability` `mcp__cac__generate_business_names` `mcp__cac__get_cac_tax_id` `mcp__cac__get_nin_request_status` `mcp__cac__search_cac_register` `mcp__cac__start_nin_request` |
| 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 `check_business_name_compliance` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"openWorldHint":true}; The description's first verb is "run": a word for a change.
```

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"openWorldHint":true}; The name "generate_business_names" says "generate": a word for a change.
```


## Changes things (5)

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

### `calculate_cac_fees`

- 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
CAC's official registration fees, line by line, for a business name, a limited company (by authorised share capital, default ₦1,000,000) or an NGO (Incorporated Trustees). Use it for any question about what CAC charges to register. These are government fees, not FastCAC's price.
```

### `check_annual_returns`

- 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
For a CAC business name: which annual returns are due from its registration date, which are overdue, CAC's estimated charge, and when the next one is due. Ask for the registration date (it's on the certificate). Without the date, point them to the annual returns checker page, which looks it up by BN number.
```

### `check_business_name_compliance`

- The description's first verb is "run": a word for a change.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Run a proposed business name and its exact CAC line of business through CAC's own compliance and similarity checker. Returns compliance/similarity scores and, when the name is too close to an existing one, CAC's suggested alternatives. Slower and rate limited: use it for a name the user is seriously considering.
```

### `generate_business_names`

- The name "generate_business_names" says "generate": a word for a change.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Brainstorm CAC-registrable business names for an idea. Each name comes back already checked against CAC's registry, with `availability`: likely_available, similar_names_exist, or unchecked (CAC's search was busy). Present the results as they are; don't re-check them with check_name_availability unless the user asks about a specific name.
```

### `start_nin_request`

- The name "start_nin_request" says "start": a word for a change.
- 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
Start a paid request on fastcac.com for: 'slip' = the person's NIMC NIN slip (PDF and print-ready image), using their NIN; 'phone' = the person's NIN, found with the phone number they registered with NIMC (on fastcac.com they can add the slip; you can't request it here). Returns a link for the person and a request_handle for you. The person does a live face check and pays on fastcac.com (₦1,000 for the slip; ₦500 for the NIN, ₦1,200 with the slip); the result goes only to them. Starting is free and charges nothing.
```

## Only reads (5)

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

### `check_name_availability`

- The description's first verb is "search": a word for reading.
- 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
Search CAC's public registry for names matching or similar to a name, across every registration type (business names, companies, LLPs, trustees). CAC rejects a new name that's too close to any of them, active or inactive. close_matches share a distinctive word with the name: any close match means the name is at risk. other_matches only share generic words. An empty close_matches usually means it's available, but CAC makes the final call.
```

### `get_cac_tax_id`

- The name "get_cac_tax_id" says "get": a word for reading.
- 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
Get the Tax ID (TIN) CAC's public search shows for a registered business. Takes company_id, rc_number and classification_id from a search_cac_register result. Returns { name, rc_number, tax_id }, or an error 'not_found' when CAC has none.
```

### `get_nin_request_status`

- The name "get_nin_request_status" says "get": a word for reading.
- 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
Where a request from start_nin_request stands: status (waiting_for_person, started, settling, verified, failed, expired, paid, delivered, delivery_failed), next_step in words, the products and their naira prices. Never the NIN or the person's details: those go only to the person.
```

### `search_cac_register`

- The name "search_cac_register" says "search": a word for reading.
- 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
Search the Corporate Affairs Commission's (CAC) public register for businesses already registered in Nigeria, by name or by RC/BN number. Returns `results`: name, rc_number (the BN number for a business name), registration_date, classification, nature_of_business, status (e.g. ACTIVE or INACTIVE), company_id and classification_id. This lists what exists; it isn't an availability check (use check_name_availability or check_business_name_compliance). An `error` never means there's no match.
```

### `search_line_of_business`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find exact entries in CAC's line-of-business picklist matching what the business does.
```
