## Exfil surface

3 private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound paths in this server alone. Denying 1 outbound tool breaks every one: `mcp__oncast__latest_stories`.

| Tag | Meaning | Tools |
| --- | --- | --- |
| private-data | Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories. | `mcp__oncast__get_story` |
| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | `mcp__oncast__get_story` `mcp__oncast__latest_stories` `mcp__oncast__search_stories` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | `mcp__oncast__latest_stories` |

| Private data | Untrusted input | Outbound |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `mcp__oncast__get_story` | `mcp__oncast__get_story` | `mcp__oncast__latest_stories` |
| `mcp__oncast__get_story` | `mcp__oncast__latest_stories` | `mcp__oncast__latest_stories` |
| `mcp__oncast__get_story` | `mcp__oncast__search_stories` | `mcp__oncast__latest_stories` |

## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `latest_stories`

- 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.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a destination (input.channel): what the tool writes goes there.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Latest fact-checked Oncast stories. Only claims that reached a verdict (TRUE, FALSE, or MISLEADING) and have an original source link are included. Every story has source links and an oncast.fm URL: cite both. Call get_story for what the hosts said. This does not start a broadcast.
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `get_story`

- The name "get_story" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "note": it reads notes.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The description's first sentence says "url": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
One verified Oncast story: summary, fact-check verdict and notes, original source links, what the hosts said, published time, the oncast.fm story URL, and a listen link. Cite the story URL and the sources.
```

### `list_channels`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List Oncast radio channels (English, and Tech and Money in Mexican Spanish). Each channel includes its oncast.fm listen URL. No listener counts and no internal settings.
```

### `search_stories`

- The name "search_stories" says "search": 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
Search recent verified Oncast stories by keyword. Matches titles, fact-check summaries, sources, and what the hosts said. Each hit includes source links and an oncast.fm URL. Cite both.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__oncast__list_channels",
      "mcp__oncast__search_stories",
      "mcp__oncast__get_story"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__oncast__latest_stories"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__oncast__latest_stories`: untrusted-input, outbound
- `mcp__oncast__search_stories`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__oncast__get_story`: private-data, untrusted-input

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-11-02T00:19:14.858Z, unchanged since 2026-11-02T00:19:14.858Z. 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 |

| HTTP status of an anonymous initialize | `200` |
| tools/list served without credentials | `yes` |
| Tools that change things, listed without credentials | `1` |

- **warn** 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 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://oncast.fm/mcp: tools/list returned 4 tools to an anonymous client, including latest_stories (write)
