## Exfil surface

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

| Tag | Meaning | Tools |
| --- | --- | --- |
| private-data | Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories. | `mcp__tokentally__count_tokens` |
| 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 `truncate_to_budget` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "truncate_to_budget" says "truncate": a word for removing or ending something.
```

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "truncate_to_budget" not destructive (destructiveHint: false), and its own name, description or input give the class "destructive".

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "truncate_to_budget" says "truncate": a word for removing or ending something.
```


## Deletes or cancels (1)

Removes, cancels or revokes something. Claude Code: deny.

### `truncate_to_budget`

- The name "truncate_to_budget" says "truncate": a word for removing or ending something.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- The server marks it not destructive (destructiveHint: false), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict, warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Truncate text to max_tokens (keep start or end) for an encoding or model.
```

## Changes things (2)

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

### `chunk_text`

- 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
Split text into token-bounded chunks on paragraph/sentence boundaries with character offsets, token counts and optional overlap.
```

### `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
Estimate USD cost per model from text or input_tokens plus output_tokens using a dated price table (prices_as_of 2026-10-27). Estimates, not live billing.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `count_tokens`

- The name "count_tokens" says "count": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "count" and "note": it reads notes.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Count tokens for text in o200k_base and cl100k_base side by side, plus approximate Claude/Gemini/Llama counts with method notes. OpenAI counts (o200k_base, cl100k_base) are exact for those tokenizers. Claude, Gemini and Llama counts are APPROXIMATE (proxy encoding; real tokenizers differ, often by 10-20%, and newer Claude tokenizers by ~30% or more). Cost estimates use a dated price table (prices_as_of 2026-10-27) and are estimates, not live billing. Stateless: text is not stored or logged; no URL fetching. Max input is 256 KB. A single unbroken run of characters near that cap may hit a CPU timeout (503); normal text at the cap is supported.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__tokentally__count_tokens"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__tokentally__chunk_text",
      "mcp__tokentally__estimate_cost"
    ],
    "deny": [
      "mcp__tokentally__truncate_to_budget"
    ]
  }
}
```
