## 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__chainkit__address_profile` `mcp__chainkit__explain_transaction` `mcp__chainkit__network_status` `mcp__chainkit__usdc_balances` `mcp__chainkit__verify_usdc_payment` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | `mcp__chainkit__verify_usdc_payment` |

## Findings

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"openWorldHint":true}; The name "verify_usdc_payment" says "payment": a word that usually means money moves, which cannot be taken back.
```


## Can't be undone (1)

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

### `verify_usdc_payment`

- The name "verify_usdc_payment" says "payment": a word that usually means money moves, which cannot be taken back.
- The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
- 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 destination (input.to): what the tool writes goes there.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Verify that a transaction paid at least N USDC to an address on Base or Arc (handles Arc native-USDC logs). Returns verified true/false, confirmations, matching transfers and reasons. Use it to confirm a customer paid before delivering. Costs $0.003 USDC on Base per call via x402 (unpaid calls return the x402 PaymentRequired; any x402 MCP client pays automatically).
```

## Changes things (3)

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

### `address_profile`

- 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
Preflight any address on Base or Arc before paying or approving it: EOA vs contract vs EIP-7702-delegated wallet, EIP-1967 proxy implementation/admin, owner(), Safe multisig threshold, ERC-20 metadata, USDC + native balance, Sourcify verification, and risk flags. Costs $0.005 USDC on Base per call via x402 (unpaid calls return the x402 PaymentRequired; any x402 MCP client pays automatically).
```

### `chainkit_catalog`

- 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
Free. Lists every ChainKit tool with its price, required inputs and an example, plus how x402 payment works. Call this first.
```

### `usdc_balances`

- 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
USDC and native balance of one address on both Base and Arc in a single call. Costs $0.002 USDC on Base per call via x402 (unpaid calls return the x402 PaymentRequired; any x402 MCP client pays automatically).
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `explain_transaction`

- The name "explain_transaction" says "explain": a word for reading.
- 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
Explain a Base or Arc transaction in plain JSON: status, confirmations, fee, method selector, created contract, and every ERC-20 transfer decoded with symbol and decimals. Costs $0.004 USDC on Base per call via x402 (unpaid calls return the x402 PaymentRequired; any x402 MCP client pays automatically).
```

### `network_status`

- The name "network_status" says "status": a word for reading.
- 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
Live block height, gas price and fee estimates (transfer, ERC-20 transfer, contract call) for Base or Arc. On Arc fees are quoted directly in USDC. Costs $0.001 USDC on Base per call via x402 (unpaid calls return the x402 PaymentRequired; any x402 MCP client pays automatically).
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__chainkit__explain_transaction",
      "mcp__chainkit__network_status"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__chainkit__chainkit_catalog",
      "mcp__chainkit__address_profile",
      "mcp__chainkit__verify_usdc_payment",
      "mcp__chainkit__usdc_balances"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__chainkit__address_profile`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__chainkit__verify_usdc_payment`: untrusted-input, outbound
- `mcp__chainkit__explain_transaction`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__chainkit__network_status`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__chainkit__usdc_balances`: untrusted-input
