## Exfil surface

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

| 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__site-check__check_site` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | `mcp__site-check__check_site` |

## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `check_site`

- 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.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Checks one public website's readiness for AI search, free and without an account: whether AI crawlers are allowed in, whether the pages can be read without running JavaScript, the structured data, titles and descriptions, llms.txt and more - the same fetch-only check as therankingfactory.com/audit. Answers with each finding's title and tier (Blocker first), every check made with its result, and fullReport: the link where the person can have the full report, with what to do about each finding, emailed to them. It does not ask any AI engine whether the business is named or cited; that needs an account. One site per call, and a site can be checked a limited number of times a day.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__site-check__check_site"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__site-check__check_site`: untrusted-input, outbound

- **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://therankingfactory.com/api/mcp/check: tools/list returned 1 tool to an anonymous client, including check_site (write)
