## 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__spendquery__browse_codes` |
| 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 `run_plan` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "run_plan" says "run": a word for a change.
```


## Changes things (4)

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

### `run_plan`

- The name "run_plan" says "run": 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
Run a QueryPlan (see get_catalog.plan_schema). Returns status (ok | clarify |
    unsupported | error), a one-paragraph answer, columns, rows (max 100), the SQL that ran,
    caveats and how names were resolved to codes.
```

### `sbir_awards`

- 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
SBIR and STTR awards since 1983 from SBA's SBIR.gov records, and who received them:
    totals, awards by year (Phase I / II), by agency, the companies with the most, and the
    latest awards (company, title, agency, phase, amount, year). Filters: agency (as SBIR.gov
    names it, e.g. "Department of Defense"), phase ("Phase I" or "Phase II"), program ("SBIR" or
    "STTR"), state (the winner's), q (words in the award title), company_uei, since (first award
    year). open_topics: also the SBIR/STTR solicitations open now (SAM.gov and Grants.gov).
    SBIR.gov counts awards by award year; USAspending (run_plan) counts money by fiscal year, so
    the two differ.
```

### `size_standard`

- 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
SBA small business size standards (13 CFR 121.201, the eCFR table): a NAICS code, a code
    prefix (5415) or industry words -> receipts ($ millions) or employees, exceptions and
    footnotes, and the programs that use them.
```

### `vehicle_match`

- 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
For 6-digit NAICS codes (and an optional agency): the shared contract vehicles (GWACs,
    multiple-award IDIQs, GSA Schedule, BPAs) carrying last complete year's contract money in those
    codes, the share through each and who each is reserved for (read from its name).
```

## Only reads (9)

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

### `browse_codes`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Browse what the government buys, with contract spend. kind: psc (products and services)
    | naics (industries). No group and no query -> the groups (PSC: services by letter, e.g. D =
    IT services, R = professional support; products by 2 digits, e.g. 84 = clothing and
    individual equipment; NAICS: 2-digit sectors), largest first. group -> the codes in it.
    query -> codes whose name contains the words. Default year: last complete fiscal year.
    Use a code or its name in a plan's psc / naics filter.
```

### `get_catalog`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
What SpendQuery can answer: data coverage, metrics, dimensions (with examples and whether
    they apply to contracts or assistance), analyses, the QueryPlan JSON schema, planning rules
    and example question -> plan pairs. Call this first (no arguments): the federal catalog.
    section: "states" (state, county and city checkbooks in brief: each jurisdiction, their
    dimensions, rules and examples), "state:<CODE>" (one jurisdiction in full, e.g. "state:MA"),
    "rules" (every planning rule), "examples" (every worked example) or "full" (everything).
```

### `get_far_section`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
One FAR or DFARS section's full text (paragraphs), its part and subpart, the sections it
    refers to and the ones referring to it, and Federal Register rules changing its part. Cite
    it as FAR <section> (or DFARS) with the as-of date in source.
```

### `get_notice`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
One SAM.gov contract notice as SpendQuery's brief sees it, no AI: the decision card (what
    the buyer needs, blockers, unknowns, a next step; each line labelled record / files /
    unknown), the timeline of the buy (planned buy, the contract it follows, earlier and newer
    notices, the award and the contract it became, each link confirmed / likely / possible) and
    what changed between versions of its public files. notice_id: from run_plan lists of
    contract_opportunities, or the id in a SAM.gov notice URL.
```

### `naics_finder`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Describe the work in plain words -> the NAICS codes buyers actually use for it (codes on
    SAM.gov notices whose titles have the words and on federal contracts described with them),
    each with its SBA size standard.
```

### `search_codes`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Look up codes and official names. kind: agency | bureau | state | county | naics | psc |
    program. Matches names (substring, case-insensitive) or code prefixes. Plans can use either
    the names or the codes.
```

### `search_far`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search the FAR and the DFARS (48 CFR chapters 1 and 2, as codified in the eCFR): sections
    whose title or text has every word, or a section number (e.g. 52.219-14) straight to it.
    reg: FAR | DFARS to limit. Returns section numbers, titles and a snippet; read one with
    get_far_section. The codified text lags the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul's class deviations.
```

### `search_local_bids`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
State, county and city government bids and contracts (not federal awards), from the
    governments that publish them as open data: Los Angeles (the City, LA County, LADWP, LAUSD,
    airports, port, Metro), New York City, San Francisco, Washington DC, Chicago, Cook County,
    Austin, Detroit, Richmond, Sacramento, Baton Rouge, Montgomery County MD, Delaware, Texas DOT,
    California state departments (Cal eProcure), SUNY construction, E-Rate and others.
    kind: "open" (taking responses, soonest due first), "planned" (forecasts: TxDOT's planned
    lettings, Illinois CDB, San Diego County), "awarded" (contracts first awarded in the last
    year: who won, net amounts) or "current" (in force today, soonest ending first: the re-bids).
    q: words in the title or description; state: two-letter code (open and planned bids);
    source: one source key from the reply's sources. Coverage is partial: no tool has every
    state, county and city; say so when the place asked about isn't covered. Each row links to
    the government's own record (source_url).
```

### `search_recipients`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find award recipients (companies, universities, governments) by name or UEI. Returns
    each registration's UEI, parent, listed-company ticker (if matched) and its OWN obligations
    across loaded years, largest first. A parent's money sits on its units, so a parent UEI's own
    obligations can be small or negative: for a company's total use run_plan with a company
    filter (name or ticker). A UEI that is a parent also returns parent_rollup (its units).
```
