**4 tools: 1 do something that can't be undone, 2 change things and 1 only read.**

| Group | Class | Tools | Claude Code |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Deletes or cancels | destructive | 0 | deny |
| Can't be undone | irreversible | 1 | ask |
| Changes things | write | 2 | ask |
| Only reads | read | 1 | allow |

## Exfil surface

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

| 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. | none |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | `mcp__smogrank__city_history` |

## Findings

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
```


## Can't be undone (1)

Sends, pays, publishes or merges: once done, it cannot be taken back. Claude Code: ask.

### `city_history`

- The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a destination (input.to): what the tool writes goes there.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
A measured city's daily mean PM2.5 (its local calendar days, µg/m³) and its daily rank, between two dates (up to 400 days; default the last 30), with monthly means.
```

## Changes things (2)

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

### `city_air`

- 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
PM2.5 now in a city: the latest hourly value, its 24-hour, 7-day, 30-day and year-to-date averages with its rank among all measured cities, the US EPA category, how it compares with the WHO guideline, and the "why it ranks here" notes (patterns in its own history and nearby fire, smoke and volcano evidence, named as likely causes, never confirmed), and the local hours its air was usually worst and cleanest over the last 30 days. Each measured city's trust says what stands behind it: checked (reference monitors at 2+ sites), one (a single reference site) or low (3+ low-cost sensors). Cities without a monitor get a model estimate, labelled as one, plus few_sensors when one or two low-cost sensors measure there (not ranked). No forecasts.
```

### `rankings`

- 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
The ranking of measured cities by average PM2.5, worst first: a rolling window (24h, 7d, 30d, year to date) or a past period (a day 2026-09-30, a week 2026-W40, a month 2026-09, a year 2025). Optionally one country.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `find_city`

- The name "find_city" says "find": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search SmogRank's cities by name, or find the nearest ones to a point. Returns each city's path for the other tools, whether it is measured by ground monitors (ranked) or only estimated from a model, and its page.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__smogrank__find_city"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__smogrank__city_air",
      "mcp__smogrank__city_history",
      "mcp__smogrank__rankings"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__smogrank__city_history`: outbound

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-22T14:51:00.419Z, unchanged since 2026-10-22T14:51:00.419Z. 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 | `3` |
| Protocol version | `2025-06-18` |
| WWW-Authenticate on 401 | `not observed` |
| resource_metadata in WWW-Authenticate | `none` |
| RFC 9728 protected resource metadata | `none` |
| Authorization servers | `none` |
| Legacy HTTP+SSE transport | `no` |
| Dynamic client registration | `not observed` |
| Client ID metadata documents | `not observed` |

- **high** 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 3 tools that change things (1 irreversible, 2 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://smogrank.com/mcp: tools/list returned 4 tools to an anonymous client, including city_history (irreversible), city_air (write), rankings (write)
```
