## 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__blocks__get_block` `mcp__blocks__search_blocks` |
| 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

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Only reads (4)

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

### `get_block`

- The name "get_block" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "get" and "file": it reads files.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get one block's details by its id from search_blocks: what it is, its install command, the npm packages and registry items it depends on, the files it adds, and its registry's notes on using it. Set include_source to also get its source code, for when the user wants to read or adapt the code rather than install it.
```

### `list_categories`

- The name "list_categories" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the kinds of section the blocks are sorted into, such as hero, pricing, login, dashboard and footer, with how many blocks each has. Pass one to search_blocks as its category.
```

### `list_registries`

- The name "list_registries" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the public shadcn/ui registries whose blocks shadcn.exchange lists, the most blocks first, with how many of each are free and paid, what each one is, and its page. Pass a registry's id to search_blocks to search only its blocks.
```

### `search_blocks`

- The name "search_blocks" says "search": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "search" and "table": it reads databases.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search the shadcn/ui blocks listed on shadcn.exchange: ready-made sections of a page, such as heroes, pricing tables, login forms, dashboards, footers and FAQs, from every public shadcn registry, free and paid. Use it when the user is building a page or a screen with shadcn/ui and wants a section to start from, or asks what blocks exist for something. Results come best first. Each has its id (for get_block), its description, its install command if it is free or where to buy it if it is paid, and its page with a live preview. Every word of the query has to be in a block's name, title, description or registry, so use one or two words, and the category for the kind of section.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__blocks__search_blocks",
      "mcp__blocks__get_block",
      "mcp__blocks__list_categories",
      "mcp__blocks__list_registries"
    ],
    "ask": [],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__blocks__search_blocks`: private-data
- `mcp__blocks__get_block`: private-data
