Tools

Open a tool for its reasons and full description. Descriptions are the publisher's own words, shown as they are.

3 tools

Changes things 1Claude Code: ask
  • check_agent_readinessScan any hotel or travel website and report how well AI agents can read, price and book it directly: a 0-100 score, what works, and the top fixes.Reads text others writeCan send data outNo findings

    Why it is in this group

    • 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.

    What it can reach

    • untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
    • outboundThe input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Scan any hotel or travel website and report how well AI agents can read, price and book it directly: a 0-100 score, what works, and the top fixes.

    Annotations the server declares

  • get_hotelFull details of one hotel from the Pickrate index by its id (from search_hotels), including policies, contact and a direct-booking link for given dates.Reads private dataNo findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_hotel" says "get": a word for reading.

    What it can reach

    • private-dataThe description's first sentence says "contact": it reads contacts.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Full details of one hotel from the Pickrate index by its id (from search_hotels), including policies, contact and a direct-booking link for given dates.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "search_hotels" says "search": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Search hotels that can be booked directly (no OTA commission) via Pickrate. Returns name, location, starting rate, amenities, cancellation terms and a direct-booking link. Use it when a traveller asks for a hotel in a city or area. Optionally pass dates and guests to get a booking link that opens live availability.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

Exfil surface

Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.

1 path in this server alone from private data, through text someone else wrote, to a way out. Denying 1 outbound tool breaks every one.

Reads private data1
Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
Reads text others write1
Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
Can send data out1
Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.
deny to break every path
{
  "permissions": {
    "deny": [
      "mcp__hotels__check_agent_readiness"
    ]
  }
}

Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.

  • WarnThe whole server

    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.

    Matched text

    https://pick-rate.com/mcp: tools/list returned 3 tools to an anonymous client, including check_agent_readiness (write)

    What this check looks for

Install

Pinned to version 1.0.0. Values in angle brackets are yours to fill in.

claude mcp add --transport http hotels https://pick-rate.com/mcp

Run in a terminal.

Claude Code permissions

Allow the reads, ask before a change or a way out, deny the deletes. Paste into .claude/settings.json.

.claude/settings.json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__hotels__search_hotels",
      "mcp__hotels__get_hotel"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__hotels__check_agent_readiness"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}

Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. A read that can send data out (it takes a URL, say) asks first too. It assumes the server is installed as hotels. Review it before you use it.
