## Exfil surface

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

| 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__arcade__show_arcade` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | none |

## Findings

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"openWorldHint":false}; The description's first verb is "open": a word for a change.
```


## Changes things (2)

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

### `play_game`

- The description's first verb is "open": a word for a change.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Open one RIFFCADE game ready to play, by its name or slug.
```

### `rate_game`

- 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
Record the user's 1-5 star rating for an RIFFCADE game. Only call when the user gives a rating.
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `new_games`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Show the games added to the RIFFCADE most recently (new games arrive twice a day).
```

### `show_arcade`

- The name "show_arcade" says "show": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "show" and "browser": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Show the RIFFCADE: free open-source browser games that play well on a phone. Use when the user asks for RIFFCADE, the arcade, or a game to play or browse. Optional category filter (Puzzle, Arcade, Action, Racing, Strategy, Idle, Word & Math, 3D, Retro, 2-Player) or a search word.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__arcade__show_arcade",
      "mcp__arcade__new_games"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__arcade__play_game",
      "mcp__arcade__rate_game"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__arcade__show_arcade`: untrusted-input

- **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://mcp.riffcade.com/mcp: tools/list returned 4 tools to an anonymous client, including play_game (write), rate_game (write)
