## 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__physics-calculators__list_calculators` |
| 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 `calculate` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "calculate" 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 description's first verb is "run": a word for a change.
```


## Changes things (1)

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

### `calculate`

- The description's first verb is "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 one calculator by id with numeric inputs (keys from list_calculators, in the listed units). Returns every result with its unit, the formula, the Given → Formula → Substitute → Result working when the engine can derive it, and the URL of the solved page.
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `get_constant`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
One CODATA 2022 constant by id, symbol or name (e.g. 'c', 'speed of light', 'planck-constant'): value as NIST prints it, machine-readable value, standard uncertainty (null = exact), unit, note, page and NIST source.
```

### `list_calculators`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Every UsePhysics calculator: id (slug), name, category, formula, inputs (key, unit, default) and page URL. Optional category filter.
```

### `list_constants`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The CODATA 2022 constants UsePhysics keeps, grouped; optional group id filter. Values are NIST's.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__physics-calculators__list_calculators",
      "mcp__physics-calculators__get_constant",
      "mcp__physics-calculators__list_constants"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__physics-calculators__calculate"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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