## Exfil surface

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

| 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__payment-safety__approval_request` `mcp__payment-safety__ledger_gateway` `mcp__payment-safety__x402_precheck` `mcp__payment-safety__x402_verify_settlement` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | `mcp__payment-safety__approval_request` `mcp__payment-safety__x402_precheck` |

## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (5)

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

### `approval_request`

- The name "approval_request" says "request": a word for a change.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.callback_url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Create a human approval request (Approval Relay). Show approveUrl / approve_url to your human, then poll approval_status. Served by Approval Relay at relay.moneytools.dev (0.005 USDC, 3 free/day; signed Ed25519 receipt). Old field names (title, approveUrl, id, agentToken, proof) are still accepted and returned as aliases. approve.moneytools.dev stays available for existing HTTP/MCP callers.
```

### `approval_verify`

- 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
Verify a Relay receipt_jws (free). The legacy 'proof' argument is also accepted.
```

### `ledger_gateway`

- 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.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Totals, by supplier, by day and exceptions for payments relayed by the MoneyTools Pay Gateway for this API key (free; needs X-API-Key). Currency default USD. [served by ledger.moneytools.dev]
```

### `x402_precheck`

- 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.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Before paying an x402 endpoint: fetch it, validate its HTTP 402 payment requirements (scheme, network, payTo, amount, asset) and screen payTo against the OFAC SDN crypto-address list. Returns verdict ok|warn|block|not_402. Free to try: 20 MCP calls/day per client, no API key or wallet needed (beyond that: prepaid credits via header X-API-Key, see server instructions).
```

### `x402_verify_settlement`

- 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.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Verify an on-chain USDC settlement: tx hash on network (base, base-sepolia, polygon, arbitrum, avalanche, bsc) paid amount to payTo. Returns verdict valid|invalid|pending|not_found. Free to try: 20 MCP calls/day per client, no API key or wallet needed (beyond that: prepaid credits via header X-API-Key, see server instructions).
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `approval_status`

- The name "approval_status" says "status": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Check whether the human approved, denied or let the request expire (free). Approved results include receipt_jws (also aliased as proof).
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__payment-safety__approval_status"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__payment-safety__x402_precheck",
      "mcp__payment-safety__x402_verify_settlement",
      "mcp__payment-safety__approval_request",
      "mcp__payment-safety__approval_verify",
      "mcp__payment-safety__ledger_gateway"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__payment-safety__x402_precheck`: untrusted-input, outbound
- `mcp__payment-safety__x402_verify_settlement`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__payment-safety__approval_request`: untrusted-input, outbound
- `mcp__payment-safety__ledger_gateway`: untrusted-input

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-11-13T11:19:20.305Z, unchanged since 2026-11-13T11:19:20.305Z. 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 | `5` |
| 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 5 tools that change things (5 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://mcp.moneytools.dev/mcp/payment-safety: tools/list returned 6 tools to an anonymous client, including x402_precheck (write), x402_verify_settlement (write), approval_request (write), approval_verify (write), ledger_gateway (write)
