## 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__esim-catalog__get_shop_facts` |
| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | `mcp__esim-catalog__get_shop_facts` `mcp__esim-catalog__start_checkout` |
| 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 `start_checkout` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

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

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


## Changes things (4)

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

### `price_grid`

- 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
The same route priced for several trip lengths (days, max 8) and several pool sizes (gb, max 6), in one call — e.g. to compare with other providers or to find the best fit. Same server prices as quote_route; each cell has its own buy_url.
```

### `quote_route`

- 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
Use while the customer is still deciding — "how much is …?": the exact price of ONE eSIM for the whole route — the countries in travel order (1–8) with their networks, ONE data pool in GB for all of them and the trip length — the server price the customer would pay. A single country is a route of one. Quote it as returned, never compute, add up or scale it yourself. The result carries a buy_url for reference; when the customer says they want to buy, call start_checkout.
```

### `recommend_config`

- 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
Use when the customer describes a trip instead of a size: the countries (with the days in each, when known) and how they use data (usage light / normal / heavy, or gb_per_day). Sizes the shared pool from the trip length and returns three server-quoted routes — exact, comfortable (×1.5) and generous (×2) — each with the pool in GB, the full price, a one-line reason and its buy_url, plus an optional budget check. Same prices as quote_route.
```

### `start_checkout`

- The name "start_checkout" says "start": a word for a change.
- 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.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use only once the customer has decided to buy ("I'll take it", "how do I buy?"): the checkout handoff for one route (same input as quote_route). Returns the buy_url to give the customer, the final price and a ready-to-send checkout block (next_step, payment_methods, delivery) — on the page the route builder shows exactly this route; they press "Get it" and pay securely. No account needed; the eSIM is delivered on screen and by e-mail right after payment. No in-chat order tracking, no discount codes. For prices while the customer is still comparing, use quote_route.
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `get_networks`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The mobile networks the customer can tick for one country (operator name, 4G/5G) with the price of a reference one-country route on each network alone (1 GB · 7 days), so you can say which network is the cheapest and what the others add.
```

### `get_shop_facts`

- The name "get_shop_facts" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "mail": it reads mail.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "mail": it reads inbound email, which other people can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
What variotrip is and how it works, in the shop’s own words: one mobile-data eSIM for the whole route, one shared data pool, the trip length, ranges, delivery, payment, hotspot, activation, top-ups (data, days or a country), router activation, e-mails, support. Use for any question that is not a price.
```

### `list_destinations`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Every country variotrip can put on a route, with the number of selectable networks and the starting price of a one-country route (1 GB · 7 days · cheapest network). Use to check coverage or to see which countries of a trip are available.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__esim-catalog__get_shop_facts",
      "mcp__esim-catalog__list_destinations",
      "mcp__esim-catalog__get_networks"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__esim-catalog__quote_route",
      "mcp__esim-catalog__recommend_config",
      "mcp__esim-catalog__price_grid",
      "mcp__esim-catalog__start_checkout"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__esim-catalog__get_shop_facts`: private-data, untrusted-input
- `mcp__esim-catalog__start_checkout`: untrusted-input
