Anlyon alternative

Run the operations that matter as governed actions.

Declare what an action changes, and Anlyon puts it under a shared limit, binds every approval to the exact request, and grades the outcome. It works on any HTTPS API you can describe as an action.

Anlyon does not run, proxy or govern this MCP server. A tool your own code calls directly is not routed through Anlyon and is not governed by it.

Tools

Grouped by what each tool does, most consequential first. Open one for its reasons and full description; descriptions are the publisher's own words.

Only reads 3Looks things up and changes nothing.Show 3 read-only tools

check_source_freshnessFetch one allowlisted official documentation page from the curated registry and compare its normalized text with the verified snapshot.Reads text others writeNo findings
Why it is in this group
- The description's first verb is "fetch": a word for reading.
What it can reach
- untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
Description, as the server wrote it
Fetch one allowlisted official documentation page from the curated registry and compare its normalized text with the verified snapshot. Status is unchanged, updated, unavailable (could not be checked now) or unknown (no snapshot). Results are shared by all callers and cached for up to 15 minutes (1 minute when unavailable); live.cached and checked_at show when the page was actually fetched. When the per-source fetch limit is reached, status is unavailable with reason rate_limited. Publication and update dates are never inferred and are always null. Only registry source ids are accepted; no other URL can be requested.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- openWorldHint: true
- idempotentHint: true

Why it is in this group
- The name "get_guidance" says "get": a word for reading.
What it can reach
- private-dataThe description's first sentence says "return" and "commit": it reads repositories.
- untrusted-inputThe description's first sentence says "return" and "url": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.
Description, as the server wrote it
Return one curated record by its stable id (from search_guidance): provider, canonical source URL, applicability, limitations, labels, the date the source was verified, its snapshot hash and the ledger commit. Unknown ids return an error; nothing is fetched from the web.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- openWorldHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
search_guidanceList curated guidance records that match a target coding agent, model family, scope and topic.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "search_guidance" says "search": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it
List curated guidance records that match a target coding agent, model family, scope and topic. Returns official model guidance, platform documentation and Agent Skills standard records with labels, applicability and the date each source was verified. PromptingCraft.com methodology records are returned only when kind is promptingcraft_methodology and are never official provider guidance. Inputs are fixed categories only. Use get_guidance for the full record.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- openWorldHint: false
- idempotentHint: true

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.

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

Reads private data1: Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.; get_guidance
Reads text others write2: Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.; check_source_freshness
get_guidance
Can send data out0: Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.

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

Remote posture

What anyone on the internet sees at the remote endpoint: an anonymous initialize and tools/list, and the public OAuth metadata.

Findings

Matches of fixed checks, with the text they matched.

No check matched anything in these tool definitions. That is not a safety guarantee.

History

Changes to its tool definitions and to its remote endpoint, newest first.

No change seen yet. Its tools are rescanned every day, and a remote endpoint is looked at once a week.

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__guidance__search_guidance",

    "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 guidance. Review it before you use it.

Keep the decision: fail CI when the tools change, follow every change, or show a badge.
