## Exfil surface

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

| Tag | Meaning | Tools |
| --- | --- | --- |
| private-data | Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories. | `mcp__raconteur__fetch` |
| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | `mcp__raconteur__get_article` |
| 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 (1)

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

### `popular_content`

- 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
The most-read / most-requested articles, ranked by how often AI assistants have actually fetched them. Use for "what is your most popular article", "top reads", or to recommend what to read.
```

## Only reads (5)

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

### `fetch`

- The name "fetch" says "fetch": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "retrieve" and "document": it reads documents.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Retrieve the full text of one document by the id returned from `search`.
```

### `get_article`

- The name "get_article" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "fetch" and "url": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch the full clean text of one article by its slug (the last path segment of an article URL).
```

### `list_recent_articles`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the most recently published articles from this publication.
```

### `search`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search this site's content. Returns matching documents (id, title, url); pass an id to `fetch` for the full text.
```

### `search_articles`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search this publication's articles by keyword. Returns the best-matching titles, dates, canonical URLs, and short summaries.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__raconteur__search_articles",
      "mcp__raconteur__list_recent_articles",
      "mcp__raconteur__get_article",
      "mcp__raconteur__search",
      "mcp__raconteur__fetch"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__raconteur__popular_content"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

Capability tags behind the rules (a read tagged outbound is asked about):

- `mcp__raconteur__get_article`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__raconteur__fetch`: private-data

- **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 1 tool that changes things (1 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://raconteur.mcp.getbotlens.com/mcp: tools/list returned 6 tools to an anonymous client, including popular_content (write)
