## 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 (4)

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

### `bsr_to_sales`

- 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
Turns an Amazon Best Sellers Rank (the 'Best Sellers Rank' line on a book's Amazon page, overall store rank) into an estimated range of units per day and per month, using two independent public models. Amazon.com (Kindle Store or print); UK/DE are rough scalings. Optionally multiplies by royalty per sale.
```

### `check_listing`

- 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
Checks a book's title, subtitle, description, keyword boxes and categories against Amazon KDP's published metadata guidelines (length limits, allowed HTML, prohibited claims, other authors/titles/trademarks, programme names, contact details, review requests, emojis) and gives optimisation tips. Each issue links to the KDP help page it comes from.
```

### `keyword_boxes`

- 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
Packs keyword phrases (most important first) into KDP's 7 keyword boxes of 50 characters each. Removes words already in the title/subtitle, drops prohibited, trademarked and likely author/title phrases, and reports what did not fit.
```

### `royalty_calculator`

- 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
Calculates KDP royalties per sale. eBook: 70% vs 35% option for any of 13 Amazon stores (current 2026 price bands, delivery cost per MB, VAT/GST handling, KDP Select rules). Paperback: printing cost and royalty on Amazon.com/.co.uk/EU stores (60% or 50% tier). Optional Kindle Unlimited earnings from pages read.
```

- **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 4 tools that change things (4 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://tomescout.com/mcp: tools/list returned 4 tools to an anonymous client, including keyword_boxes (write), bsr_to_sales (write), check_listing (write), royalty_calculator (write)
