## 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__escrova__get_directory` `mcp__escrova__get_terms` |
| 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.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `list_categories`

- The name "list_categories" says "list": a word for reading.
- The description's first verb is "start": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Start a shopping task here instead of guessing search words. Returns the sixteen departments, each with the slug get_category takes and a picture. A keyword search is one guess at what somebody meant; a department is the shop's own shelf, and get_category on one hands you the brands, the filters and a page of listings in a single call. GET /api/agent/browse/categories. No wallet and no signature. Served from cache; a department whose picture has gone cold costs one call against the catalogue quota this site shares with its shoppers.
```

## Only reads (7)

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

### `get_category`

- The name "get_category" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Narrow towards a purchase without inventing keywords. One call returns children[] and childrenDeep[] with estimated counts, brands[] each with an engineParam you can pass straight back to search_products.engineParam, the shop's own facets[], aspectTiles[], siblings[], related[] and a deals[] rail. GET /api/agent/browse/tree/<slug>, or GET /api/agent/browse/tree/<slug>/<nodeId> for any category under a department. No wallet and no signature. contentAt is when those deal prices were read: send it as a candidate's priceAt to compare_landed_cost, which is the shortlist this call is meant to fill. Counts are estimates and countScope says so. A shelf already read answers from cache; a cold one costs one call against the catalogue quota shared with shoppers, so read the shelf you want rather than walking the tree.
```

### `get_deals`

- The name "get_deals" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
For a "find something on offer" task. GET /api/agent/browse/deals?tab=<tab>, where tab is markdowns, refurbished, top-rated, brands, or door:<slug> for one department. No wallet and no signature. Every item carries cachedAt, which is when that price was true: pass it as a candidate's priceAt to compare_landed_cost. A selection over rows this site has already cached, so it costs no catalogue call. An unknown tab is refused with 400 rather than guessed at. A sticker discount is not a cheaper order: rank with compare_landed_cost before you quote.
```

### `get_directory`

- The name "get_directory" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The name "get_directory" says "get" and "directory": it reads files.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Every department, the groups under it and the links under those, for picking a shelf in one read rather than walking down to it. GET /api/agent/browse/directory. No wallet and no signature. Built ONLY from rows already cached, so it costs no catalogue call at all and a picture or count nobody has fetched yet comes back null rather than being fetched for you. Prefer this over repeated get_category calls when you are still deciding where to look.
```

### `get_fees`

- The name "get_fees" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The current fee schedule and delivery rates, so a total can be explained before anyone pays it. GET /api/config/fees. No wallet and no signature.
```

### `get_prices`

- The name "get_prices" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Current USD prices of the coins shown on Escrova. GET /api/prices. No wallet and no signature. Checkout on this deployment takes USDC only.
```

### `get_terms`

- The name "get_terms" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "return" and "document": it reads documents.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Returns the current Terms of Service and Privacy Policy version and document hash. These are the exact values accept_terms will record; they are read server-side and never taken from your request. GET /api/agent/legal/terms. No wallet and no signature.
```

### `search_products`

- The name "search_products" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search products across the marketplaces Escrova can actually buy from today. Six sources are searchable: amazon, ebay, walmart, bestbuy, homedepot, wayfair, or "all". GET /api/products/search. No wallet and no signature. Send q, cat, or both; page and every selected filter are preserved together. A brands[].engineParam returned by get_category goes into engineParam here and is sent as the typed eBay aspect filter, while Google refinements use shoprs. The REST pagination and degraded-source metadata are returned unchanged. A search is one guess at what somebody meant and it spends a paid provider call; when you know roughly what department a thing is in, list_categories and get_category narrow further for less.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__escrova__search_products",
      "mcp__escrova__get_fees",
      "mcp__escrova__get_prices",
      "mcp__escrova__get_terms",
      "mcp__escrova__get_category",
      "mcp__escrova__get_directory",
      "mcp__escrova__get_deals"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__escrova__list_categories"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__escrova__get_terms`: private-data
- `mcp__escrova__get_directory`: private-data

- **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://www.escrova.io/api/mcp: tools/list returned 8 tools to an anonymous client, including list_categories (write)
