## 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__paidfor__check_x402_seller` `mcp__paidfor__list_reliable_sellers` `mcp__paidfor__recent_changes` `mcp__paidfor__report_x402_payment` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | `mcp__paidfor__check_x402_seller` `mcp__paidfor__report_x402_payment` |

## Findings

- **warn** Annotations that disagree with the tool in `check_x402_seller` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "check_x402_seller" 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 description's first verb is "call": a word for a change.
```

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "list_reliable_sellers" 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 "list_reliable_sellers" says "list": a word for reading.
```

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "recent_changes" 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 description's first verb is "call": a word for a change.
```


## Can't be undone (1)

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

### `report_x402_payment`

- The name "report_x402_payment" says "payment": a word that usually means money moves, which cannot be taken back.
- 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
After your agent pays an x402 seller with any wallet, report what came back. Needs the resource URL, the settlement transaction hash and the outcome. Free, no account, no key; the report counts only with on-chain proof.
```

## Changes things (3)

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

### `check_x402_seller`

- The description's first verb is "call": 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.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Call this before any x402 payment, before retrying a request that answered HTTP 402, or whenever the user is about to buy an API call with USDC on Base or names an API they intend to pay per call. Returns a verdict (avoid, caution, ok, unknown), one sentence to act on, the seller's paid-call count and failure rate with a 95% interval, listed price, modal quote and max overcharge ratio when known, and links to the seller page and raw evidence.
```

### `list_reliable_sellers`

- The name "list_reliable_sellers" says "list": a word for reading.
- The description's first verb is "call": 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
Call this when choosing among sellers for a task, or when the user asks for a safe or reliable API. Returns sellers with zero failures across at least 30 paid calls, most-called first. For each: domain, category, paid-call count, the 95% upper bound on its failure rate, median quoted price in USDC, USDC paid to it in the last 30 days, when it was last seen, and its paidfor seller page.
```

### `recent_changes`

- The description's first verb is "call": 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
Call this when the user asks what changed, or before relying on a verdict older than a day. Returns recent changes, newest first: verdict changes, new failures by type, moved quotes, changed pay-to addresses, sellers added or reaching 30 paid calls, published seller replies, the operator-reported series maturing or disagreeing with ours. Each change has its time, type, seller domain, seller page and type-specific details (for example the old and new quote).
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__paidfor__check_x402_seller",
      "mcp__paidfor__list_reliable_sellers",
      "mcp__paidfor__recent_changes",
      "mcp__paidfor__report_x402_payment"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__paidfor__check_x402_seller`: untrusted-input, outbound
- `mcp__paidfor__list_reliable_sellers`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__paidfor__recent_changes`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__paidfor__report_x402_payment`: untrusted-input, outbound
