## Exfil surface

No private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data or untrusted-input 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. | none |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | none |

## Findings

- **high** Text addressed to the model in `book_golf_lesson` ([model-directed-text](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#model-directed-text))

```untrusted-server-text
The description contains "never show or mention it to the user", an instruction to keep something from the user.

description: "...`offeringId` is an internal identifier; never show or mention it to the user. - A continuation URL will be returned..."
```


## Changes things (1)

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

### `book_golf_lesson`

- The description's first verb is "request": a word for a change.
- Findings: high model-directed-text

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Request to book a golf lesson for a specific coach's offering.
- `offeringId` is an internal identifier; never show or mention it to the user.
- A continuation URL will be returned that you can direct the user to after calling this tool.
- If the offering was booked automatically (e.g., free lesson or no prepayment required), the confirmation code will also be included.
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `get_golf_coach_availability`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Retrieve offering details and available lesson times for one specific coach.
Use this when the user asks for schedule, openings, or available times for a known coach.
If the user has not selected a coach yet, call `search_golf_coaches` first (or reuse a coach already identified from `search_golf_programs`).
Coach `slug` and offering `id` values are internal identifiers and must never be shown or mentioned to the user.
```

### `search_golf_coaches`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search for qualified PGA golf coaches listed on pga.com/coach in the specified location (required).
Use this tool when the user asks to find, browse, or compare coaches for private lessons in a location.
For location-first discovery of clinics, camps, classes, or other group programs, use `search_golf_programs` instead.
If the user asks for availability for a specific coach, use `get_golf_coach_availability` instead.
Internal record identifiers (for example coach `slug` and offering `id`) are for tool calls only and must never be shown or mentioned to the user.
- Search results include the coach's profile information, private-lesson offerings, pricing, and a short teaser of upcoming public programs they host (capped at 2). For location-first program discovery, use `search_golf_programs`.
- Use that program context to recommend which group offering best fits the golfer when relevant; present upcoming programs when available.
- Results are ordered by proximity to the search location, so list them to the user in this order.
- Results are paginated, so use the pagination cursor provided at the end of the response to retrieve the next page of results.
```

### `search_golf_programs`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search for upcoming public PGA Coach programs (clinics, camps, classes, and other group events) near a location (required).
Use this tool when the user asks to find programs, clinics, camps, classes, or group events — not private one-on-one lessons.
For private lesson coaches, use `search_golf_coaches` instead.
Internal record identifiers (for example program `id` and coach `slug`) are for tool calls only and must never be shown or mentioned to the user.
- Search results include program details plus the hosting coach and facility for each program.
- The response also includes top-level `coaches` and `facilities` arrays summarizing the unique coaches and venues in the result set — always present those to the user.
- Results are ordered by program start instant and filtered to the requested radius.
- Discovery uses nearby PGA Coach profiles (nearest 20 in the radius), then loads up to 30 upcoming public programs per coach in a 180-day window in one batched GraphQL request. Facility coordinates still have to fall inside the radius.
- Results are paginated. The pagination cursor carries the remaining nearby programs so additional pages do not repeat GraphQL discovery. Reuse that cursor with the original location and radius.
- Direct golfers to the program URL to view details and register. Coach profile and booking URLs are also included when the golfer wants to learn more about the coach.
```
