## 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 (2)

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

### `compute_bonus_withholding`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
What is actually withheld from a bonus in 2026: the federal flat 22% supplemental rate (37% above $1,000,000 of supplemental wages), the state supplemental treatment (flat rate, aggregate/regular method, or none), and FICA.
```

### `compute_take_home`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Full 2026 paycheck breakdown for a salary in one state: federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, state income tax, state payroll programs, net pay (annual/monthly/biweekly) and effective tax rate.
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `compare_states`

- The name "compare_states" says "compare": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Net pay on the same salary in several states, ranked best-first, with each state's gap to the best one.
```

### `get_state_rates`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
A state's 2026 schedule: flat rate or bracket ladder, standard deduction, employee payroll programs, bonus/supplemental method, and the statutory source the figures come from.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__paycheck__compare_states",
      "mcp__paycheck__get_state_rates"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__paycheck__compute_take_home",
      "mcp__paycheck__compute_bonus_withholding"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

- **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 2 tools that change things (2 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://mcp.tools-berry.com: tools/list returned 4 tools to an anonymous client, including compute_take_home (write), compute_bonus_withholding (write)
