## Exfil surface

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

| 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__ledger__get_price` |
| 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.

### `cheapest_for_spec`

- 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
Cheapest active SKUs meeting a minimum spec, ranked by list price only (no sponsorship, no affiliate weighting). category vps|gpu|llm; vcpu, ram_gb, disk_gb minimums; gpu model substring (e.g. H100); region 'eu' for EU-deployable; currency USD|EUR for the ranking. Each row carries verified_at, stale and source_url.
```

### `estimate_cost`

- 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
Itemised cost of a usage profile at the SKU's current list price: tokens (input/output/cached) for LLM SKUs, hours/months for instances. Returns line items with the rates used, native, USD and EUR totals, verified_at and source_url. Pure arithmetic on stored prices; excl. VAT unless the result says otherwise.
```

## Only reads (5)

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

### `get_history`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Price change points of a SKU over the last N days (default 90): each row is when a price started to hold, with USD/EUR and the FX rate used. Rows are change points, not daily samples. Returns an error object for an unknown id.
```

### `get_index`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
A named daily index series (e.g. eu-vps-2vcpu-4gb-floor, frontier-token-input-floor, h100-hour-floor) with its latest value, the number of constituents and the constituents themselves, so the value can be recomputed. Omit series to list all series with their latest values.
```

### `get_price`

- The name "get_price" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "url": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Current list price of one SKU (id like vps/ovhcloud/vps-2025-model1 or llm/anthropic/claude-sonnet-5-5) with all secondary prices, USD/EUR equivalents, spec, source URL, verified_at, a stale flag that is true when the source's latest fetch failed (the price shown is then the last verified one), and other listings of the same model. Returns an error object for an unknown id.
```

### `list_changes`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Dated price changes, new SKUs, delistings and spec changes, newest first. Each row says when the change was first seen and the previous good snapshot it is measured against, plus the source id. Filter by since (ISO date), kind, category and provider.
```

### `search_skus`

- The name "search_skus" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find VPS plans, GPU instances or LLM models by name/id substring, category (vps|gpu|llm) and provider. Active SKUs only. Returns each match's current list price, unit and currency, verified_at, stale flag and source_url. Read-only; reads the ledger's own daily archive, nothing is fetched live.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__ledger__search_skus",
      "mcp__ledger__get_price",
      "mcp__ledger__get_history",
      "mcp__ledger__list_changes",
      "mcp__ledger__get_index"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__ledger__cheapest_for_spec",
      "mcp__ledger__estimate_cost"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```
