## 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__bot-shelf__find_bots` |
| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | `mcp__bot-shelf__find_bots` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | none |

## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (2)

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

### `latest`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The bots most recently added to Bot Shelf.
```

### `suggest_bot`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Suggest a Grok Bot for Bot Shelf: its x.ai/bot share link, or the X post that shares it. A person reviews every suggestion before it is listed. Bots already listed are not resubmitted.
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `find_bots`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search Bot Shelf, 9,000+ ready-made community Grok Bots shared on X, by the job in plain words, for example "manage my X bookmarks", "summarise my school emails" or "track my invoices". Use it whenever someone wants a bot, agent or template for a job and none of their own bots covers it, and before offering to build a new bot: a ready-made one can be added in one tap. Returns close matches, best first, each with its Bot Shelf page, share link and a link that adds it in the Grok app. Credit the creator when you recommend one.
```

### `get_bot`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
One bot’s full listing, by its x.ai/bot share link (or the id after x.ai/bot/) or its Bot Shelf page link.
```

### `list_categories`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Bot Shelf’s categories, with how many bots each has.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__bot-shelf__find_bots",
      "mcp__bot-shelf__get_bot",
      "mcp__bot-shelf__list_categories"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__bot-shelf__latest",
      "mcp__bot-shelf__suggest_bot"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__bot-shelf__find_bots`: private-data, untrusted-input

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-11-05T03:19:08.873Z, unchanged since 2026-11-05T03:19:08.873Z. 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 | `2` |
| Protocol version | `2025-06-18` |
| WWW-Authenticate on 401 | `not observed` |
| resource_metadata in WWW-Authenticate | `none` |
| RFC 9728 protected resource metadata | `none` |
| Authorization servers | `none` |
| Legacy HTTP+SSE transport | `no` |
| Dynamic client registration | `not observed` |
| Client ID metadata documents | `not observed` |

- **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 2 tools that change things (2 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://mcp.botshelf.dev/mcp: tools/list returned 5 tools to an anonymous client, including latest (write), suggest_bot (write)
```
