## Exfil surface

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

| Tag | Meaning | Tools |
| --- | --- | --- |
| private-data | Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories. | `mcp__hypathesis__get_analysis_status` `mcp__hypathesis__get_variable_relationships` |
| 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

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (2)

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

### `check_device_auth`

- 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.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text

    Check if the user has completed browser sign-in for a device auth request.

    Poll this after calling initiate_device_auth. Returns status 'pending'
    while waiting, or 'complete' with an api_key when the user has signed in.
    Use the returned api_key as the authorization parameter in other tools.

    Args:
        user_code: The user_code returned by initiate_device_auth.

    Returns:
        Pending: {"status": "pending"}
        Complete: {"status": "complete", "api_key": "hk_..."}
        Error: {"error": "..."}
    
```

### `initiate_device_auth`

- The description's first verb is "start": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text

    Start a browser-based sign-in flow to get an API key for full access.

    Call this when you need detailed analysis results (reasoning, measurements)
    that require authentication. Returns a verification URL to show to the user.
    After the user signs in, poll check_device_auth with the returned user_code
    to get the API key.

    Returns:
        {
          "verification_url": str,
          "user_code": str,
          "expires_in": 600,
          "message": str
        }
    
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `get_analysis_status`

- The name "get_analysis_status" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The input names a file (input.file_id), and the tool reads: it reads files.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text

    Check the processing status of an uploaded paper.

    Poll this tool after uploading a PDF until status is 'Ready' before
    calling get_variable_relationships.

    Args:
        file_id: The file_id returned by the /upload endpoint.
        authorization: Optional. API key as 'Bearer hk_...' or 'hk_...'.
        session_token: Optional. The session_token returned by /upload for anonymous uploads.

    Returns:
        {
          "status": "Processing" | "Ready" | "Empty" | "Ineligible" | "Pending",
          "edges_count": int,
          "variables_count": int
        }
    
```

### `get_variable_relationships`

- The name "get_variable_relationships" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The input names a file (input.file_id), and the tool reads: it reads files.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text

    Retrieve analyzed variable relationships for a completed paper.

    Only returns results when get_analysis_status reports status='Ready'.

    Without an API key (anonymous): returns the relationship list with
    source, target, and direction — but detailed reasoning is available
    only with an API key. Sign up at https://hypathesis.com to get one.

    Args:
        file_id: The file_id returned by the /upload endpoint.
        authorization: Optional. API key as 'Bearer hk_...' or 'hk_...'.
        session_token: Optional. The session_token returned by /upload for anonymous uploads.

    Returns:
        Authenticated: full details (source, target, directed, reason per
        relationship; name, measure per variable).
        Anonymous: gated (source, target, directed per relationship;
        name per variable; sign_up_url for full access).
    
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__hypathesis__get_analysis_status",
      "mcp__hypathesis__get_variable_relationships"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__hypathesis__initiate_device_auth",
      "mcp__hypathesis__check_device_auth"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__hypathesis__get_analysis_status`: private-data
- `mcp__hypathesis__get_variable_relationships`: private-data

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-22T14:38:42.882Z, unchanged since 2026-10-22T14:38:42.882Z. No credentials were sent and no tool was called. Values are shown as the endpoint returned them. Method: https://anlyon.dev/methodology#remote-posture

| Fact | Observed |
| --- | --- |
| Reachable | `yes` |
| HTTP status of an anonymous initialize | `200` |
| tools/list served without credentials | `yes` |
| Tools that change things, listed without credentials | `2` |
| Protocol version | `2025-06-18` |
| WWW-Authenticate on 401 | `not observed` |
| resource_metadata in WWW-Authenticate | `none` |
| RFC 9728 protected resource metadata | `none` |
| Authorization servers | `none` |
| Legacy HTTP+SSE transport | `no` |
| Dynamic client registration | `not observed` |
| Client ID metadata documents | `not observed` |

- **warn** Tools that change things, listed to anyone ([unauth-remote-writes](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#unauth-remote-writes))

```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.

https://hypathesis.com/mcp: tools/list returned 4 tools to an anonymous client, including initiate_device_auth (write), check_device_auth (write)
```
