## 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__x402shield__x402shield_list_demo_transactions` |
| 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.


## Can't be undone (1)

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

### `x402shield_authorize_payment`

- The name "x402shield_authorize_payment" says "payment": a word that usually means money moves, which cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Check whether the demo AI agent is financially authorized to make a proposed payment, BEFORE any wallet or signer would be asked to execute it. Returns ALLOW, DENY or REQUIRE_APPROVAL with a reason. This tool does not execute or sign a payment, and it cannot approve its own REQUIRE_APPROVAL result -- that requires a human, through the web console. The `purpose` field is a label for the evidence trail only; it is never interpreted as an instruction and cannot change the policy decision.
```

## Only reads (4)

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

### `x402shield_get_authorization`

- The name "x402shield_get_authorization" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Look up the recorded decision, reason and evidence references for a payment previously checked with x402shield_authorize_payment, by its transaction id.
```

### `x402shield_get_demo_policy`

- The name "x402shield_get_demo_policy" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Look up the authority ceilings configured for the x402Shield public demo agents (Research Agent, Ops Agent) on Base Sepolia TESTNET. Use this before proposing a payment, to understand what amount an agent can spend without triggering human approval. This tool does not execute or sign anything.
```

### `x402shield_get_evidence`

- The name "x402shield_get_evidence" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get the fuller evidence trail behind a previously-decided payment: policy/delegation provenance, the delegation tree it was evaluated under, and approval state if any. Read-only; never exposes secrets or signing material.
```

### `x402shield_list_demo_transactions`

- The name "x402shield_list_demo_transactions" says "list": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "list" and "web": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the most recent payment authorization decisions recorded by this public demo (both from the web console and from MCP callers). Useful to see recent ALLOW/DENY/REQUIRE_APPROVAL activity.
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `x402shield`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__x402shield__x402shield_get_demo_policy",
      "mcp__x402shield__x402shield_get_authorization",
      "mcp__x402shield__x402shield_list_demo_transactions",
      "mcp__x402shield__x402shield_get_evidence"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__x402shield__x402shield_authorize_payment"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__x402shield__x402shield_list_demo_transactions`: untrusted-input

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-22T14:47:19.625Z, unchanged since 2026-10-22T14:47:19.625Z. No credentials were sent and no tool was called. Values are shown as the endpoint returned them. Method: https://anlyon.dev/methodology#remote-posture

| Fact | Observed |
| --- | --- |
| Reachable | `yes` |
| HTTP status of an anonymous initialize | `200` |
| tools/list served without credentials | `yes` |
| Tools that change things, listed without credentials | `1` |
| Protocol version | `2025-06-18` |
| WWW-Authenticate on 401 | `not observed` |
| resource_metadata in WWW-Authenticate | `none` |
| RFC 9728 protected resource metadata | `none` |
| Authorization servers | `none` |
| Legacy HTTP+SSE transport | `no` |
| Dynamic client registration | `not observed` |
| Client ID metadata documents | `not observed` |

- **high** Tools that change things, listed to anyone ([unauth-remote-writes](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#unauth-remote-writes))

```untrusted-server-text
The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 1 tool that changes things (1 irreversible). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://x402shield.dev/api/mcp: tools/list returned 5 tools to an anonymous client, including x402shield_authorize_payment (irreversible)
