## 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__places__get_place` `mcp__places__list_guides` `mcp__places__search_places` |
| 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.

### `nearby_places`

- 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
Nearest curated Kensington places to a WGS84 coordinate supplied in the request, with distance in metres.
```

## Only reads (6)

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

### `compare_places`

- The name "compare_places" says "compare": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Side-by-side sourced records for 2 to 4 Kensington places by slug, with the tags they share.
```

### `get_guide`

- The name "get_guide" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
One published Kensington guide by slug: Andrew's introduction and its ranked places, every field sourced.
```

### `get_place`

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

```untrusted-server-text
Full editorial record for one Kensington place by slug, including Andrew's description and the public /place URL.
```

### `list_guides`

```

### `list_places`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Andrew's curated places in Kensington, optionally filtered by category, use-case tag or featured picks. Each result links to its https://knowkensington.com/place/{slug} page; ranked pages live at https://knowkensington.com/best/{category}.
```

### `search_places`

- The name "search_places" says "search": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "http": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.

Filter Andrew's Kensington places by category, sub-zone, tags, featured picks or text, ranked like https://knowkensington.com/best/{category}. Every field carries its source; addresses, coordinates, hours, websites and photos are not included, so follow each place url for them. open_now only matches owner-supplied or official-site hours, and none are recorded yet.
```

    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__places__nearby_places"
    ],
