## Exfil surface

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

| Tag | Meaning | Tools |
| --- | --- | --- |
| private-data | Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories. | `mcp__fretwork__get_chord_shapes` `mcp__fretwork__get_scale` |
| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | none |
| 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 `transpose_chords` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

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

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


## Changes things (4)

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

### `guitar_level_check`

- 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
A quick self-assessment that places a guitarist on Fretwork's 10-stage learning path (Stage 0 Getting Started to Stage 9 Artistry) from yes/no answers to up to nine questions about what they can already play, and says what to learn next. The questions build on each other, so answers are read in order up to the first "no". Called with no answers, it returns the nine questions.
```

### `identify_chord`

- 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
Names the chord a guitarist is holding from the fret on each string (standard tuning), lists its notes and returns a chord diagram. Use when someone asks "what chord is this?" and gives frets like x32010, 3-2-0-0-0-3 or "0 2 2 1 0 0" (low E string first; x = muted string).
```

### `make_practice_plan`

- 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
Builds a daily guitar practice routine and a 4-week focus plan sized to the player's level, the minutes they have each day and their goal (songs, strumming, fingerpicking, lead, barre chords, theory or general). Uses Fretwork's 10-stage curriculum, where stage 0 is for someone who has never played.
```

### `transpose_chords`

- The description's first verb is "move": a word for a change.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Moves a song's chords to a new key. Accepts a chord list, a chord chart with lyrics (chord lines are transposed, lyric lines are kept), or inline [C] chords. Give either from_key and to_key, or a number of semitones. Also suggests capo positions that let the guitarist keep easy open shapes in the new key.
```

## Only reads (5)

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

### `find_capo`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Works out where to put a capo. Give the key you want to sound in (for example to match a singer or a recording) and, optionally, the open-chord key you want to play shapes in. Returns the capo fret, or the easy options if no shape key is given.
```

### `find_key`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Works out the most likely key of a song from its chord progression, gives each chord its Roman numeral, lists the other chords that belong to the key, and suggests which scale to solo with.
```

### `find_songs`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Finds songs a guitarist can play with the chords they already know, from Fretwork's free library of 87 public-domain folk, gospel, blues, campfire and Christmas songs. Each song has chords, key, time signature, level and a free play-along page. Can also list songs that need just one or two new chords.
```

### `get_chord_shapes`

- The name "get_chord_shapes" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "return" and "note": it reads notes.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Returns playable guitar shapes for a chord name (open position and movable barre shapes), with frets, fingering where known, the notes in the chord and a text chord diagram. Handles major, minor, 7, maj7, m7, sus2, sus4, add9, 6, m6, 9, dim, m7b5, dim7, aug, power chords and slash chords such as G/B.
```

### `get_scale`

- The name "get_scale" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "note": it reads notes.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Gives the notes of a scale in any key and where they fall on the guitar fretboard (standard tuning), string by string, with root notes marked. Scales: major, natural minor, harmonic minor, melodic minor, the seven modes (dorian, phrygian, lydian, mixolydian, locrian), minor pentatonic, major pentatonic, blues and major blues.
```
