## 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__google-search__google_maps_search` `mcp__google-search__google_search` |
| 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.


## Only reads (2)

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

### `google_maps_search`

- The name "google_maps_search" says "search": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The description's first sentence says "review": it reads comments, which other people can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Businesses and places from Google Maps, 20 per page: name, type, rating and review count, price, address, phone, hours, website, coordinates and place_id. Put the place in the query ("plumber in denver co") or pass ll. Each page is one billed search.
```

### `google_search`

- The name "google_search" says "search": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The description's first sentence says "web": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Real-time Google web results: title, URL, date and snippet for each result, plus the AI Overview, answer box, knowledge panel, local pack, ads and "People also ask" when Google shows them. Question-style queries ("how do I...", "what is...") usually get an AI Overview. Each page read is one billed search, so use pages=1 unless you need more. Usually 2-6 s per page.
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `google-search`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__google-search__google_search",
      "mcp__google-search__google_maps_search"
    ],
    "ask": [],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__google-search__google_search`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__google-search__google_maps_search`: untrusted-input

| HTTP status of an anonymous initialize | `401` |
| tools/list served without credentials | `no` |
| Tools that change things, listed without credentials | `0` |
| Protocol version | `none` |
| WWW-Authenticate on 401 | `no` |

| RFC 9728 protected resource metadata | `none` |

| Dynamic client registration | `not observed` |
| Client ID metadata documents | `not observed` |

- **warn** Credentials asked for, no protected resource metadata ([remote-auth-metadata-missing](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#remote-auth-metadata-missing))

```untrusted-server-text
The endpoint asks for credentials (HTTP 401) but publishes no RFC 9728 protected resource metadata: no resource_metadata in WWW-Authenticate and no document at /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource.

https://api.serpgrab.com/mcp: initialize answered HTTP 401, without a WWW-Authenticate header
