**3 tools: 2 change things and 1 only read.**

## Exfil surface

No private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data or untrusted-input 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. | none |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | none |

## Findings

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "apply_patch" says "apply": a word for a change.
```


## Changes things (2)

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

### `apply_patch`

- The name "apply_patch" says "apply": a word for a change.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Apply a single-file unified diff (patch) to text and return the patched text, or applied:false if a hunk does not match. Optional fuzz 0-2.
```

### `text_similarity`

- 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
Similarity ratio 0-1 between two texts (2 x unchanged chars / total chars) on chars (default), words or lines granularity, plus change stats.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `diff_text`

- The name "diff_text" says "diff": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Compare text a with text b by lines (default), words or chars. Returns ops (equal/insert/delete), a unified diff (lines mode), optional escaped HTML redline, stats and similarity. Deterministic diff (Myers algorithm via jsdiff), not an AI or semantic comparison. Limits per side: lines mode 64 KB and 1,000 lines, words mode 8 KB, chars mode 4 KB. If the texts need more than 250 inserted plus deleted units, the API returns 422 too_different instead of a partial diff. Patches up to 64 KB apply to text up to 64 KB. No 3-way merge, no binary files. Stateless: text is not stored or logged; no URL fetching.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__diffmint__diff_text"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__diffmint__apply_patch",
      "mcp__diffmint__text_similarity"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```
