## 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__trust-reports__check_website` `mcp__trust-reports__list_research` |
| 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.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `check_website`

- 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
Look up verified.fyi's independent trust report for a website: a 0-100 trust score, a verdict, a plain-English summary and the main red flags, drawn from automated checks (domain age, TLS, DNS, Google Web Risk, VirusTotal, blocklists, reviews, archive history, page content). Use it before visiting, buying from, signing up to, or entering personal or payment details on an unfamiliar site, or when someone asks whether a site, online shop, link or sender's domain is legitimate, safe or a scam. Accepts a bare domain or any URL. Known sites return instantly. A site never checked before is scanned on demand, which usually takes 20-60 seconds; if the scan isn't finished within about 25 seconds the result has status "generating" and retry_after_seconds.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `list_research`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List verified.fyi's published research: original data stories built from its dataset of website trust reports, such as how a domain's age relates to scam risk. Each entry has the headline statistic, a short description, the publication date, and links to the story and its JSON dataset. Useful when someone asks for statistics or trends about scam, phishing or fraudulent websites, or wants citable data on online safety.
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `trust-reports`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__trust-reports__list_research"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__trust-reports__check_website"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__trust-reports__check_website`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__trust-reports__list_research`: untrusted-input

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-31T23:19:15.635Z, unchanged since 2026-10-31T23:19:15.635Z. 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` |

| Dynamic client registration | `not observed` |
| Client ID metadata documents | `not observed` |

- **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://verified.fyi/mcp: tools/list returned 2 tools to an anonymous client, including check_website (write)
