Can't be undone 1Claude Code: ask
  • request_quoteSend a quote request to whobuildsit, which reviews it and passes it to suppliers who can make the part.Reads text others writeNo findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "request_quote" says "request": a word for a change.
    • The description's first verb is "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.

    What it can reach

    • untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Send a quote request to whobuildsit, which reviews it and passes it to suppliers who can make the part. Before calling, ASK THE USER for their work email and explicit consent to share the request and email with suppliers — never invent an email. Give a part_id or supplier_slug from earlier results when you have one. Suppliers reply to the user directly; nothing is sent automatically.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_supplier" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "search_parts" says "search": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Find parts by keyword and/or numeric specification. Units are understood: "3000 psi" also matches parts rated in bar; "Ø40 mm", "1250 °C", "10 GHz" work. Returns matching parts with supplier, key specs and a URL.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "search_suppliers" says "search": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Find companies that can make something — by process (e.g. "5-axis machining", "vacuum brazing"), material, certification (e.g. "AS9100D"), category, or country. Most space hardware is made to drawing by contract manufacturers that have no product catalogue; this is how to find them.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

Exfil surface

Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.

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

Reads private data0
Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
Reads text others write1
Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
Can send data out0
Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.

Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.

Claude Code permissions

Allow the reads, ask before a change or a way out, deny the deletes. Paste into .claude/settings.json.

.claude/settings.json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__catalog__search_parts",
      "mcp__catalog__search_suppliers",
      "mcp__catalog__get_supplier",
      "mcp__catalog__get_part",
      "mcp__catalog__explain_standard",
      "mcp__catalog__list_categories"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__catalog__request_quote"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}

Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. A read that can send data out (it takes a URL, say) asks first too. It assumes the server is installed as catalog. Review it before you use it.
