## Exfil surface

No private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged outbound.

| Tag | Meaning | Tools |
| --- | --- | --- |
| private-data | Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories. | `mcp__carbon-forge__discovery_search` `mcp__carbon-forge__files_list` |
| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | `mcp__carbon-forge__discovery_list_entities` `mcp__carbon-forge__files_list` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | none |

## Findings

- **warn** Annotations that disagree with the tool in `comments.list` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "comments.list" read-only (readOnlyHint: true), and its own name, description or input give the class "write".

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true}; The name "comments.list" says "comment": a word for a change.
```


## Changes things (2)

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

### `comments.list`

- The name "comments.list" says "comment": a word for a change.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the comment thread for a page or atom.
```

### `cortex.ground`

- 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.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Orientation surface: instance metadata, both grounding documents, identity and capabilities, reachable workspaces, sidecar health. Pass `workspace` to ground a named workspace without moving the per-token pointer. Pass a `known_grounding_at` / `known_workspace_grounding_at` you hold and an unchanged document is acknowledged, not resent. Details: https://carbonforge.dev/docs/p/api/mcp-tools-catalog
```

## Only reads (20)

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

### `atoms.list`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List atoms in the current workspace. The `path_prefix`, `body_contains`, `metadata`, `sort`, `direction` and `include_metadata` arguments mirror the same arguments on pages.list.
```

### `atoms.read`

- The name "atoms.read" says "read": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read an atom by path or UUID with usage_pages projection. Returns metadata. Pass `section` with a heading's plain text to get back only that heading and the blocks under it, down to the next heading at the same or shallower level; the result then also carries `section: { heading, level, matches }`, and everything else on it is the atom's own, so a section can be read and written straight back.
```

### `discovery.list_entities`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Browse pages or atoms inside a workspace with faceted filters (tag, author, date range, visibility, metadata containment) and sort by alphabetical, recency, or star count. Viewer-aware: members see everything, anonymous callers see only public entities in public workspaces. 50 items per page, cursor-based. Details: https://carbonforge.dev/docs/p/api/mcp-tools-catalog
```

### `discovery.list_instances`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List instances. Filter: all (default) | public | my | my_admin. public lists an instance that has public reading on, is listed in Discover, is not frozen, and has a workspace that is not private holding a page that is not private. my and my_admin list the caller's own instances (member; admin) with no such gate; all is public plus my. Without a token every filter is public.
```

### `discovery.list_workspaces`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List workspaces across one or all instances, with the same filters. public lists a workspace when its instance has public reading on, the workspace is not private, its instance is listed in Discover and not frozen, and it holds a page that is not private. my and my_admin list the caller's own workspaces with no such gate; all is public plus my. Without a token every filter is public.
```

### `discovery.search`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search instance and workspace metadata + grounding documents. Returns parallel lists for both scopes.
```

### `files.list`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Browse the workspace as a file tree, one level at a time: directories, pages, atoms, code trees (expanded at their paths) and library entries. Each node names its kind, entity, current revision and digest; `at` holds the entities exactly at `path`. `surface` keeps that surface only. History: files.history. Anonymous callers see public pages and atoms, and code trees of surface code.
```

### `kg.get_related`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Semantic nearest-neighbors via similarity_edges.
```

### `kg.list_cross_links`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List incoming + outgoing cross-links for a page or atom.
```

### `media.read`

- The name "media.read" says "read": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch metadata for a single media item.
```

### `pages.list`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List pages in a workspace. `path_prefix` narrows by leading segment; `body_contains` keeps pages whose Markdown holds a literal substring; `metadata` keeps pages whose top-level metadata contains the given scalar keys; `sort` (path | updated_at | created_at) and `direction` order the set; `include_metadata` adds each page's metadata. Details: https://carbonforge.dev/docs/p/api/mcp-tools-catalog
```

### `pages.read`

- The name "pages.read" says "read": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read a page by path or UUID. Returns the Markdown body plus the page metadata object. Pass `section` with a heading's plain text to get back only that heading and the blocks under it, down to the next heading at the same or shallower level; the result then also carries `section: { heading, level, matches }`. Details: https://carbonforge.dev/docs/p/api/mcp-tools-catalog
```

### `revisions.compare`

- The name "revisions.compare" says "compare": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Markdown-level diff between two revisions of the same page or atom. Returns segments (op: equal | insert | delete) plus both Markdown projections.
```

### `revisions.get`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch a specific revision (returns Markdown body).
```

### `revisions.list`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List revisions for a page or atom (cursor-paginated).
```

### `search.global`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Hybrid FTS + pgvector + RRF search. Returns Markdown excerpts.
```

### `search.literal`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Exact-substring search over the Markdown projection of pages and atoms — deterministic, unlike hybrid `search.global`. A needle shorter than 3 characters is rejected. Returns one envelope per matched entity, up to 5 hits each as `{ line, col, snippet }`. `case_sensitive` defaults to false; `scope` is workspace | all_mine | all_public. Details: https://carbonforge.dev/docs/p/api/mcp-tools-catalog
```

### `trees.get`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read a code tree's revision (the current one by default), its metadata and surface, and a page of its entries in path order: path, git mode, size and blob SHA-256, optionally under `path_prefix`. A symlink's blob is its target; a submodule link has no blob and gives its `commit`. With `lane`, `metadata` is the lane's bag if it sets one. Anonymous callers read a public code tree's current one.
```

### `workspaces.list`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List every workspace the calling user is a member of. This is a membership catalogue and not a capability: it is not narrowed by the token, so a listed workspace may still be outside this token's reach. Call cortex.ground for what this token can actually resolve.
```

### `workspaces.resolve_slug`

- The name "workspaces.resolve_slug" says "resolve": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Resolve a workspace slug to its id, role, and archived state. 404 when the caller isn't a member (no enumeration).
```
