## Exfil surface

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

| 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__maps__get_public_map` `mcp__maps__publish_map` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | `mcp__maps__get_public_map` `mcp__maps__publish_map` |

## Findings

- **warn** Annotations that disagree with the tool in `create_upload_link` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true}; The name "create_upload_link" says "create": a word for a change.
```


## Deletes or cancels (1)

Removes, cancels or revokes something. Claude Code: deny.

### `replace_map_content`

- The name "replace_map_content" says "replace": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Overwrite an existing map's layers, markers, name, description and casualty bar (and style, if given) with an import JSON (up to ~1 MB; else create_upload_link with mode replace). The link and publish state stay; the old content is backed up.
```

## Can't be undone (1)

Sends, pays, publishes or merges: once done, it cannot be taken back. Claude Code: ask.

### `publish_map`

- The name "publish_map" says "publish": a word for a change that another call does not undo.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Tag outbound: The name "publish_map" says "publish": it sends or publishes something to other people.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Make one of the user's maps public at its /map/<handle>/<slug> link. Only call this when the user explicitly asked to publish.
```

## Changes things (3)

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

### `create_map`

- The name "create_map" says "create": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Create a new private draft map from an import JSON (up to ~1 MB). For bigger maps or files on disk use create_upload_link instead.
```

### `create_upload_link`

- The name "create_upload_link" says "create": 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
A one-off link (valid 15 minutes) to upload a map JSON file with curl: creates a new draft map, or (mode replace) replaces an existing map's content. Use this for maps over ~1 MB or files on disk. The curl output reports the result.
```

### `unpublish_map`

- 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
Make one of the user's maps private again (its public link stops working).
```

## Only reads (6)

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

### `get_account`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The signed-in user's public handle, plan and how many maps they can still create.
```

### `get_import_format`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The JSON format for maps (layers with timed polygon keyframes, markers, style). Read it before building a map.
```

### `get_map`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
A summary of one of the user's maps (layers, keyframe dates, markers) and a download link for its full import JSON (fetch it with curl; it can be several MB).
```

### `get_public_map`

- The name "get_public_map" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The input takes a URL (input.url), and the tool reads it: it reads web pages, which anyone can write.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.
- Claude Code: ask, because it is tagged outbound.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
One published map as Markdown: description and sources, the timeline of keyframes (date and caption), layers, events, and the iframe code to embed the interactive map. Pass its URL, or the handle and slug.
```

### `list_maps`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The user's maps, most recently changed first, with their ids and links.
```

### `search_maps`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find published animated maps on Moving Polygons (history, wars, empires, borders, epidemics, sea ice…) by words in their title or description and/or a year they cover. Returns links to the interactive map, its text version and its article.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__maps__get_import_format",
      "mcp__maps__get_account",
      "mcp__maps__list_maps",
      "mcp__maps__get_map",
      "mcp__maps__search_maps"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__maps__create_map",
      "mcp__maps__create_upload_link",
      "mcp__maps__publish_map",
      "mcp__maps__unpublish_map",
      "mcp__maps__get_public_map"
    ],
    "deny": [
      "mcp__maps__replace_map_content"
    ]
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__maps__publish_map`: untrusted-input, outbound
- `mcp__maps__get_public_map`: untrusted-input, outbound
