## 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__plugcat__get_institution` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | `mcp__plugcat__get_institution` |

## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Only reads (4)

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

### `check_institution`

- The description's first verb is "find": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find a bank, credit union or brokerage by name and say which finance apps likely connect to it. Pass `app` to focus on one app. If several institutions share the name, the largest is used and the others are listed; pass `state` or call get_institution with the right URL.
```

### `get_institution`

- The name "get_institution" 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
Full app-by-app results for one institution: status and reason per app, the name to search for in the app, FAQs and identifiers. Takes a URL or path from search_institutions.
```

### `list_apps`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The finance apps PlugCat tracks: budgeting apps and accounting tools, the bank-data providers each uses, prices and whether they link investment accounts.
```

### `search_institutions`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search 8,500+ US banks, credit unions and brokerages by name (and optionally city). Returns matches with their Plaid status and page URLs, largest institutions first.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__plugcat__check_institution",
      "mcp__plugcat__search_institutions",
      "mcp__plugcat__list_apps"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__plugcat__get_institution"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__plugcat__get_institution`: untrusted-input, outbound
