## 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__email__email_fix_plan` |
| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | `mcp__email__check_email_address` `mcp__email__email_fix_plan` |
| 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 (2)

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

### `check_email_address`

- 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.
- 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
Check one email address before you send to it: syntax, whether the domain accepts mail (MX, null MX or implicit A record), a disposable-domain flag (public CC0 list of about 9,900 domains), a role-account flag (info@, support@, noreply@...) and a free-provider flag. Returns a verdict of ok, risky or undeliverable with plain reasons. Use validate_email first if you only need syntax. No SMTP probe is made and no mail is sent, so it cannot confirm the mailbox exists. The address is not stored or logged. Read-only; one live DNS lookup via Cloudflare DoH. Costs $0.005 USDC per call via x402 (payment goes in _meta["x402/payment"]); invalid input or a DNS failure returns an error and is not charged.
```

### `pricing`

- 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
Free. Return the price of check_email_address (and of the HTTP-only email test report), the payment network (Base) and the receiving address. No input, no network request, no payment.
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `email_fix_plan`

- The description's first verb is "get": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The name "email_fix_plan" says "email": it reads mail. The description's first sentence says "get" and "email": it reads mail.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The name "email_fix_plan" says "email": it reads inbound email, which other people can write. The description's first sentence says "get" and "email": it reads inbound email, which other people can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get an email security fix plan for one domain: the exact SPF, DKIM and DMARC DNS records to publish (create / replace / keep, record name, value and why), in order, plus click-path steps for the domain's DNS host (Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Route 53, Namecheap, Squarespace/Google, Vercel and others). Reads live MX, NS, SPF, DKIM and DMARC; detects Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Zoho, Proton, Fastmail, GoDaddy and Cloudflare Email Routing; merges SPF within the 10-lookup limit, keeps existing senders, and stages DMARC none -> quarantine -> reject. Domains that send no mail get a lock-down set. Use it when mail lands in spam, before a DMARC rollout, or for a client. DKIM keys are generated by the mail provider, so for those it gives the exact console path. Read-only; nothing is stored. Costs $1 USDC per call via x402 (payment goes in _meta["x402/payment"]); invalid input, an unknown domain or a DNS failure returns an error and is not charged.
```

### `validate_email`

- The name "validate_email" says "validate": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Free. Check the syntax of an email address offline and get the normalized address and domain, before paying for check_email_address. No DNS lookup, no network request, no payment.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__email__validate_email",
      "mcp__email__email_fix_plan"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__email__pricing",
      "mcp__email__check_email_address"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__email__check_email_address`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__email__email_fix_plan`: private-data, untrusted-input

- **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 2 tools that change things (2 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://api.inboxguardstest.com/mcp: tools/list returned 4 tools to an anonymous client, including pricing (write), check_email_address (write)
