Anlyon alternative

2 of these tools change something. Run those as governed actions.

Declare what an action changes, and Anlyon puts it under a shared limit, binds every approval to the exact request, and grades the outcome. It works on any HTTPS API you can describe as an action.

Anlyon does not run, proxy or govern this MCP server. A tool your own code calls directly is not routed through Anlyon and is not governed by it.

Tools

Grouped by what each tool does, most consequential first. Open one for its reasons and full description; descriptions are the publisher's own words.

Changes things 2Claude Code: ask
  • check_coverageGiven a list of tools someone uses, report which have European alternatives in the catalog.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • 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
    Given a list of tools someone uses, report which have European alternatives in the catalog. Much cheaper than calling find_alternatives repeatedly.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • suggest_toolSubmit a European or open-source tool missing from the catalog.Reads text others writeCan send data outNo findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "submit": a word for a change.

    What it can reach

    • untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
    • outboundThe input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Submit a European or open-source tool missing from the catalog. It enters a human review queue — submission is not publication, and HQ evidence is required before anything is listed.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: false
    • destructiveHint: false
    • idempotentHint: false
    • openWorldHint: true

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "find_alternatives" says "find": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Given a mainstream tool a business wants to move away from (e.g. "Notion", "Google Analytics", "AWS"), return European and/or open-source alternatives from the gricker.eu catalog.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • get_toolFull record for one catalog tool by name: description, country, sources, what it replaces.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_tool" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Full record for one catalog tool by name: description, country, sources, what it replaces.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • list_categoriesThe fixed category taxonomy with a count of published tools in each.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "list_categories" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    The fixed category taxonomy with a count of published tools in each.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false
  • search_toolsSearch European/open-source tools by keyword or by meaning.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "search_tools" says "search": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Search European/open-source tools by keyword or by meaning. Use when the user describes a need rather than naming a tool to replace.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • openWorldHint: false

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

Exfil surface

Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.

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

Reads private data0
Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
Reads text others write1
Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
Can send data out1
Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.

Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.

Findings

Matches of fixed checks, with the text they matched.

No check matched anything in these tool definitions. That is not a safety guarantee.

History

Changes to its tool definitions and to its remote endpoint, newest first.

No change seen yet. Its tools are rescanned every day, and a remote endpoint is looked at once a week.

Install

Claude Code permissions

Allow the reads, ask before a change or a way out, deny the deletes. Paste into .claude/settings.json.

.claude/settings.json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__european-alternatives__find_alternatives",
      "mcp__european-alternatives__search_tools",
      "mcp__european-alternatives__get_tool",
      "mcp__european-alternatives__list_categories"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__european-alternatives__check_coverage",
      "mcp__european-alternatives__suggest_tool"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}

Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. A read that can send data out (it takes a URL, say) asks first too. It assumes the server is installed as european-alternatives. Review it before you use it.

Pin

Keep the decision: fail CI when the tools change, follow every change, or show a badge.

Pin in CI

Fail a build when the tools you reviewed are not the tools the server serves today.
