## 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__pestpin__find_licensed_pros` `mcp__pestpin__get_price_card` `mcp__pestpin__verify_license` `mcp__pestpin__verify_phone` |
| 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.

### `verify_license`

- 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 whether a US pest control company holds a state license record. Searches PestPin's directory of official state regulator records (35 states, reprocessed from official sources on a recurring schedule; publication timing varies by regulator). Returns matched businesses with license number, state, status at PestPin's last check, the date that check happened, and the official state source link so the answer can be verified at the regulator. Use it when someone names a company and wants to know if it is licensed. A miss is not proof a company is unlicensed: coverage is 35 states, some businesses are excluded as lawn, agricultural or government records, and name spellings vary.
```

### `verify_phone`

- 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 a pest control company's phone number against official state license records. Give it the number on the van, the flyer, the voicemail or the caller ID and it returns the license records that publish that exact number, each with the business name, license number, issuing state, the official state source link and the date PestPin last processed that source. Use it when someone has a number and wants to see which license records publish it, before they hire or let anyone in. The state lookups PestPin works with are searched by business name or license number, so a number on its own is normally a dead end; this covers 35 states. The match is exact on ten digits and never partial, so a number one digit different is a different company and is never offered. A match means a license record publishes that number: it does not say who answered, whether the caller works for that company, or anything about insurance or work quality. No match is not proof anyone is unlicensed: coverage is 35 states, about half of all listings publish no phone at all, and a licensed company can publish a number PestPin does not hold. Records from states that license the individual operator rather than a firm are never returned here, because a phone number is not a way to look up a private person; they are counted in withheld and the license-number lookup returns them. It looks up a business's published number, never a person's own.
```

## Only reads (4)

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

### `find_licensed_pros`

- The name "find_licensed_pros" says "find": a word for reading.
- 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
Find licensed pest control companies near a US city. Returns up to 8 businesses that hold a state license record covering that city and pest type, each with its license number, published phone number, the official state source link, and the date PestPin last processed that source. Also returns a link to the full list, where a homeowner can call any company for free or send one request that is offered to a single company at a time and never resold. Listings are matched public records, not recommendations or a ranking, and most businesses have not confirmed services or coverage with PestPin.
```

### `get_intro_request_link`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get the link that starts a free request for pest control help in a US city. The request goes to one licensed company at a time, never to several at once and never resold, and the homeowner pays nothing at any point. This tool only builds and returns the link plus what happens next; it sends nothing and files nothing. The person has to open the link and agree to be contacted themselves, because US law requires that consent to be their own act and nobody can give it for them.
```

### `get_pest_cost`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
US national planning cost range for a pest control service, with the factors that move the price. This is an editorial planning range, not a quote and not a measured average; the actual price for a job comes from a written local quote.
```

### `get_price_card`

- The name "get_price_card" says "get": a word for reading.
- 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
The prices a licensed US pest control company has published on its own PestPin listing, as ranges per service (for example a one-time general treatment, a quarterly plan, a termite inspection, bed bug treatment per room), with the date the company last changed them and when it can usually start. Entered by the company's verified owner, never by PestPin; companies that have not published prices return no match, and that is not a statement about their prices. Use it to answer 'what does <company> charge' without phoning them. The company confirms the exact price for a job.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__pestpin__find_licensed_pros",
      "mcp__pestpin__get_pest_cost",
      "mcp__pestpin__get_price_card",
      "mcp__pestpin__get_intro_request_link"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__pestpin__verify_license",
      "mcp__pestpin__verify_phone"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__pestpin__verify_license`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__pestpin__verify_phone`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__pestpin__find_licensed_pros`: untrusted-input

```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.
