## 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__lowvyn__find_cheaper` `mcp__lowvyn__get_product` |
| 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.

### `verify_deal`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Given a product (by Lowvyn ID, retailer URL, or a lowvyn.com product URL from another tool's result) and an optional claimed price, return whether the deal is genuine. Compares against Lowvyn's price history and returns a verdict ('real_deal', 'modest_deal', 'average', 'bad_time', 'insufficient_data') plus an explanation. Use this first when a user asks 'is this actually a good price?'. Accepts the id or canonicalUrl from a search_products / intent_search result directly.
```

## Only reads (7)

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

### `find_cheaper`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Given a product (by Lowvyn ID or retailer URL), return the same physical product on other Canadian retailers with their current prices and savings. Uses verified UPC matches. Use this when a user wants to know 'can I get this cheaper somewhere else?'.
```

### `get_categories`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the product categories Lowvyn covers, with item counts. Useful for narrowing search_products calls.
```

### `get_price_history`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Return the daily price history for a product as (date, price) pairs, up to N days. Use this to verify whether a 'sale' is genuine or whether the price has been higher in the past, or to show a price trend in an answer to the user.
```

### `get_product`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Look up a product by Lowvyn ID OR retailer URL (amazon.ca / walmart.ca / bestbuy.ca / canadiantire.ca). Returns title, current price (CAD), Lowvyn Score (0-100), Deal Verdict, and price summary (current / all-time low / all-time high).
```

### `get_retailers`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the Canadian retailers Lowvyn currently tracks, with item counts and last-update timestamps.
```

### `intent_search`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search the Canadian catalogue by a natural-language description of a NEED rather than keywords. Give it what the shopper actually wants (e.g. 'a quiet gaming laptop under $1500', 'a reliable stroller for travel') and it returns the best-matching products with their current price (CAD), Lowvyn Score, and Deal Verdict, plus what it understood (category, budget, must-haves). A relevance model does the matching; the deterministic deal gate decides the verdict — it never inflates a deal. Use this when the user describes a use case, budget, or constraints instead of naming a product; use search_products for a plain category/price filter. Each result carries an id + canonicalUrl you can pass to get_product, verify_deal, or find_cheaper.
```

### `search_products`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search the Canadian product catalogue. Filter by category slug, max price (CAD), and retailer. Returns up to 20 matching products with current price and Lowvyn Score. Use this when a user is exploring what is available in a category rather than asking about a specific product. Each result carries an id + canonicalUrl you can pass to get_product, verify_deal, find_cheaper, or get_price_history.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__lowvyn__find_cheaper",
      "mcp__lowvyn__get_categories",
      "mcp__lowvyn__get_price_history",
      "mcp__lowvyn__get_product",
      "mcp__lowvyn__get_retailers",
      "mcp__lowvyn__intent_search",
      "mcp__lowvyn__search_products"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__lowvyn__verify_deal"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

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

https://api.lowvyn.com/mcp: tools/list returned 8 tools to an anonymous client, including verify_deal (write)
