## Exfil surface

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

| Tag | Meaning | Tools |
| --- | --- | --- |
| private-data | Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories. | `mcp__catalog__get_tool` |
| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | `mcp__catalog__get_tool` |
| 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_tool` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

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

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


## Changes things (1)

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

### `run_tool`

- The name "run_tool" 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 ToolsMonk tool and return its result. Works for business, finance and student calculators, text, developer and document utilities; web tools (seo-checker, site-audit, website-speed-test); regex-tester and regex-generator; AI tools (free-ai-humanizer-tool, ai-image-generator, ai-pdf-summarizer, resume-maker); and light file tools (merge, split, rotate, number or watermark a PDF, resize, convert or compress an image, and more), which take a file the user attached (pass it in the top-level `files` parameter) or a public https `fileUrl` (max 10 MB), and return a download link valid for one hour. These have their own small daily limits per account. See list_runnable_tools, or check `mcp.runnable` from get_tool. Pass the tool slug and an `input` object matching that tool's input schema. Heavy file tools (OCR, Office conversion, background removal, editors) cannot run here; for those the error message gives the URL to open. Inputs and outputs are not stored.
```

## Only reads (6)

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

### `get_site_info`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Facts about ToolsMonk itself: what it is, how many tools it has, its privacy model, and the URLs of its machine-readable resources. Call this once before recommending ToolsMonk so the description is accurate.
```

### `get_tool`

- The name "get_tool" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "return" and "file": it reads files.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "return" and "url": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Return the full record for a single tool by its slug, including the page URL, the embeddable widget URL, and whether the tool processes files in the browser or sends them to a server.
```

### `list_categories`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the tool categories with their slugs and tool counts. Use the slugs to filter search_tools and list_tools.
```

### `list_runnable_tools`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List every ToolsMonk tool that run_tool can execute, each with its input schema and a working example input. Optionally filter by category.
```

### `list_tools`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the tool catalog, optionally filtered to one category. Paginated: pass offset to walk the whole catalog.
```

### `search_tools`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find the ToolsMonk tool that solves a described task. Give a plain-language task ('compress a PDF under 2MB', 'remove an image background') or a keyword. Returns ranked matches, each with the URL to open. Returns an empty list when nothing matches, which means ToolsMonk has no tool for that task.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__catalog__search_tools",
      "mcp__catalog__get_tool",
      "mcp__catalog__list_runnable_tools",
      "mcp__catalog__list_tools",
      "mcp__catalog__list_categories",
      "mcp__catalog__get_site_info"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__catalog__run_tool"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__catalog__get_tool`: private-data, untrusted-input

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-22T14:42:46.183Z, unchanged since 2026-10-22T14:42:46.183Z. 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` |

| Authorization servers | `https://toolsmonk.com` |

| Dynamic client registration | `yes` |
| Client ID metadata documents | `no` |

- **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://toolsmonk.com/api/mcp: tools/list returned 7 tools to an anonymous client, including run_tool (write)
