## Exfil surface

No private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data or untrusted-input 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. | 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 (1)

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

### `recommend_patterns`

- 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
C-03: ranked Pattern-Assist recommendations for a task. Each hit carries a corpus why, a when-not / FTO trade-off, and cited same-area cross-links. Use this when the learner wants alternatives, not just a lexical hit list.
```

## Only reads (4)

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

### `get_pattern`

- The name "get_pattern" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Lookup a single Pattern-Assist row by stable id. Returns 404-shaped payload when unknown — never fabricates a nearest match.
```

### `list_patterns`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Paginated inventory of pattern ids and summaries from the vendored corpus.
```

### `list_public_pages`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Site map for agents: canonical human pages plus read-only REST/MCP endpoints on this host.
```

### `search_patterns`

- The name "search_patterns" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search the vendored Pattern-Assist corpus (hybrid lexical + embeddings when available; lexical fallback). Returns ranked patterns with source_ref citations and optional when_not guidance. Use this before asserting an approach.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__journeyman__search_patterns",
      "mcp__journeyman__get_pattern",
      "mcp__journeyman__list_patterns",
      "mcp__journeyman__list_public_pages"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__journeyman__recommend_patterns"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-22T14:41:10.125Z, unchanged since 2026-10-22T14:41:10.125Z. 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 | `1` |
| 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 1 tool that changes things (1 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://journeyman.softwareengineeringprofessional.com/api/mcp: tools/list returned 5 tools to an anonymous client, including recommend_patterns (write)
```
