## Exfil surface

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

| 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. | `mcp__fax__send_fax_link` |

## Findings

- **warn** Annotations that disagree with the tool in `send_fax_link` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "send_fax_link" says "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.
```


## Can't be undone (1)

Sends, pays, publishes or merges: once done, it cannot be taken back. Claude Code: ask.

### `send_fax_link`

- The name "send_fax_link" says "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Tag outbound: The name "send_fax_link" says "send": it sends or publishes something to other people.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
A link that opens XipFax’s send screen with the fax number filled in: an office by its office_id from find_fax_number, or a fax number in the United States, its territories or Canada. The person adds their pages there, signs in and pays.
```

## Changes things (1)

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

### `quote_fax`

- 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 price of sending one fax of a number of pages with XipFax, without a plan, from XipFax’s price list.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `find_fax_number`

- The name "find_fax_number" says "find": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Finds the fax number of the IRS office that takes a form or a notice, from XipFax’s list of offices, read from the IRS’s own pages. Give the form or the notice by its name or number alone, such as Form 2848, SS-4 or CP2000. Where the IRS gives a number for each state, give the place too.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__fax__find_fax_number"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__fax__quote_fax",
      "mcp__fax__send_fax_link"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__fax__send_fax_link`: outbound
