## Exfil surface

12 private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound paths in this server alone. Denying 2 outbound tools breaks every one: `mcp__proofestry__snapshot_citation`, `mcp__proofestry__snapshot_citations`.

| Tag | Meaning | Tools |
| --- | --- | --- |
| private-data | Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories. | `mcp__proofestry__check_redactions` `mcp__proofestry__detect_provenance` `mcp__proofestry__scan_metadata` |
| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | `mcp__proofestry__snapshot_citation` `mcp__proofestry__snapshot_citations` |

```untrusted-server-text
The description mentions "credentials".

description: "...Flags stripped, invalid or conflicting credentials. Reports signals and confidence, never..."
```

- **info** The word "credentials" in `clean_metadata` ([credentials-mention](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#credentials-mention))

```untrusted-server-text
The description mentions "Credentials".

```

- **warn** Annotations that disagree with the tool in `clean_metadata` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "clean_metadata" read-only (readOnlyHint: true), and its own name, description or input give the class "destructive".

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The description's first verb is "remove": a word for removing or ending something.
```

- **warn** Annotations that disagree with the tool in `clean_metadata` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "clean_metadata" not destructive (destructiveHint: false), and its own name, description or input give the class "destructive".

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The description's first verb is "remove": a word for removing or ending something.
```

- **warn** Annotations that disagree with the tool in `snapshot_citation` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "snapshot_citation" as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false), and its words say it reads.

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":false,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":false,"openWorldHint":true}; The name "snapshot_citation" says "snapshot": a word for reading.
```

```


## Deletes or cancels (1)

Removes, cancels or revokes something. Claude Code: deny.

### `clean_metadata`

- The description's first verb is "remove": a word for removing or ending something.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- The server marks it not destructive (destructiveHint: false), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: info credentials-mention, warn annotation-conflict, warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Removes EXIF (GPS, device, timestamps), XMP, IPTC and text metadata from a JPEG, PNG or WebP and returns the cleaned file, with a list of what was removed and what was kept (the picture, the color profile, the display orientation and the IPTC digital source type). The pixels are not re-encoded. A file that carries Content Credentials (C2PA) is refused with 409, since cleaning it would break their signature. Images up to 1 MiB inline; larger files use the upload job routes. Failed calls are never charged. MCP tool: `clean_metadata`. Price: 0.01 USDC per file.
```

## Changes things (9)

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

### `compliance_report`

- 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
An audit record of what was marked, when, with which layers and standard versions, for one ledger. Counts unique assets (a retry never adds one). Requires `Authorization: Bearer <ledger token>`; unknown ledgers and wrong tokens get the same 404, which is not charged. Price: 0.10 USDC. MCP tool: `compliance_report`.
```

### `mark_content`

- The name "mark_content" says "mark": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Marks an AI-generated or human-made image with a compliance profile: a signed C2PA manifest with the profile's disclosure, an invisible watermark (the AI profiles), an ISCC fingerprint registered with Proofestry, and a trusted timestamp when the signing provider has one. Returns the marked file (base64 in the REST response; a short-lived download link over MCP). Marking the same image again is idempotent: it returns the same asset id and never creates a second record. Profiles help meet obligations and do not guarantee compliance; they are in beta until the signer is on the C2PA trust list. Images up to 1 MiB inline (JPEG, PNG, WebP); larger files use the upload job routes. Failed calls are never charged. MCP tool: `mark_content`. Price: 0.01 USDC per image.
```

### `request_missing_tool`

- The name "request_missing_tool" says "request": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Free. MCP tool: `request_missing_tool`.
```

### `scan_file`

- 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
Looks inside a PDF, Word, Excel or PowerPoint file, an image or a text/HTML file for what a reader does not see: scripts and launch actions, hidden or invisible text, embedded files, trailing data, and phrases that try to instruct an AI that reads the file. Reports each finding's kind, severity and location; for an injection phrase it quotes only the matched phrase (up to 80 characters), never other content. Not an antivirus and not a guarantee: `checks_run` lists what was inspected, and a file type with no checks returns `overall_risk: unknown`. Price: 0.01 USDC per file. MCP tool: `scan_file`.
```

### `snapshot_citation`

- The name "snapshot_citation" says "snapshot": a word for reading.
- The server marks it as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false).
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The description's first sentence says "fetch" and "web": it reads web pages, which anyone can write. 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.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetches a public web page and records what it served: the final URL, the time, the HTTP status, the content type, the SHA-256 of the bytes and the title. The record is timestamped (RFC 3161) and gets a permanent proof link. Proofestry does not store the page; set `include_content` to get the bytes back to keep. Only public http(s) pages on ports 80 and 443 are fetched; pages that need a login or JavaScript are captured as served to a plain request. A page that cannot be fetched, or answers with an error status, is a 4xx/5xx and is never charged. Price: 0.02 USDC per URL. MCP tool: `snapshot_citation`.
```

### `snapshot_citations`

- The name "snapshot_citations" says "snapshot": a word for reading.
- The server marks it as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false).
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The input takes a URL (input.urls), and the tool reads it: it reads web pages, which anyone can write.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.urls): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Like `snapshot_citation` for one to five URLs in a single call, fetched in parallel. All or nothing: if any URL fails, the call fails and nothing is charged. Price: 0.075 USDC per batch. MCP tool: `snapshot_citations`.
```

### `timestamp`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Obtains an RFC 3161 timestamp token for a SHA-256 hash from a public timestamp authority and stores it, so the hash can be shown to have existed at that time. Only the hash is sent: Proofestry never sees the content. Returns the token (verifiable with `openssl ts -verify`) and a record id. A timestamp proves the hash existed then, not who made the content or that it is true. A failure at the authority is a 5xx and is never charged. Price: 0.01 USDC per hash. MCP tool: `timestamp`.
```

### `verify_provenance`

- 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
Free. Checks a file for Proofestry's marks: the C2PA manifest (validated against Proofestry's records), the invisible watermark, and an exact fingerprint of files Proofestry delivered. Reports what was found; not finding marks never means a file is unmarked. Up to 4 MiB. MCP tool: `verify_provenance`.
```

### `verify_timestamp`

- 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
Free. Re-checks a stored timestamp: the authority's signature over the token, that it covers the recorded hash, and optionally that a hash you supply matches. Lists each check with its result; the authority's certificate chain is not evaluated against a trust list. MCP tool: `verify_timestamp`.
```

## Only reads (5)

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

### `check_redactions`

- The description's first verb is "find": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The input names a file (input.file_base64), and the tool reads: it reads files.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Finds black boxes drawn over text in a PDF and reports where the text underneath can still be selected or copied, and redaction annotations that were never applied. Returns locations and counts, never the hidden text. Checks text only: it does not look at images, metadata or earlier revisions. Price: 0.01 USDC per PDF. MCP tool: `check_redactions`.
```

### `detect_provenance`

- The description's first verb is "read": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The input names a file (input.file_base64), and the tool reads: it reads files.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Reads and validates C2PA manifests (signature and hashes), IPTC DigitalSourceType, and generator metadata. Flags stripped, invalid or conflicting credentials. Reports signals and confidence, never a definitive 'not AI-generated'; the C2PA signer is not yet checked against the trust list. C2PA manifests are read and validated in images, PDF, Office and OpenDocument files, audio and video (see supported-formats.json). IPTC, XMP, EXIF and generator-name signals are read for JPEG, PNG, HEIC/HEIF, WebP, TIFF and AVIF; `checks_run` says what ran for each file. MCP tool: `detect_provenance`. Price: 0.002 USDC per image.
```

### `list_compliance_profiles`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Free. The compliance profiles `mark_content` can apply, the layers each uses, the regulatory basis, and whether they are beta (until the signer is on the C2PA trust list). MCP tool: `list_compliance_profiles`.
```

### `scan_metadata`

- The description's first verb is "list": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The input names a file (input.file_base64), and the tool reads: it reads files.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Lists EXIF, XMP and PNG text metadata with a risk rating. Inspects JPEG, PNG, HEIC/HEIF, WebP, TIFF and AVIF. Any other format returns `supported: false` and `overall_risk: unknown`: nothing was inspected, so no findings does not mean no metadata. MCP tool: `scan_metadata`. Price: 0.002 USDC per file.
```

### `verify_snapshot`

- The name "verify_snapshot" says "snapshot": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Free. Re-checks a stored snapshot: that its fields still hash to the timestamped record, the timestamp authority's signature, and optionally that a content hash you supply is the recorded one. MCP tool: `verify_snapshot`.
```

```untrusted-server-text
The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 10 tools that change things (1 destructive, 9 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://api.proofestry.dev/mcp: tools/list returned 15 tools to an anonymous client, including clean_metadata (destructive), mark_content (write), scan_file (write), verify_provenance (write), compliance_report (write) and 5 more
