Anlyon alternative

29 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.

    Wait once for any of 1–10 webhook, email, human approval, scheduled job or SMS sources. Each source has kind, id, optional token and after cursor.

Expired/denied approval is never permission. Job sources use owned scheduled jobs. SMS sources need an active phone add-on; check /api/capabilities phones before creating a phone number. Existing SMS remains readable during provider outages. This server reports phones=false; scheduled job sources are enabled.

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.

324 paths in this server alone from private data, through text someone else wrote, to a way out. Denying 3 outbound tools breaks every one.

Can send data out3
Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.
deny to break every path
{
  "permissions": {
    "deny": [
      "mcp__socket-help__add_authenticator",
      "mcp__socket-help__create_email_inbox",
      "mcp__socket-help__send_email"
    ]
  }
}

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.

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 socket-help. Review it before you use it.
