**8 tools: 3 change things and 5 only read.**

## 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__gw1__search_skills` |
| 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

- **warn** Mentions of other tools or servers in `get_skill` ([tool-shadowing](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#tool-shadowing))

```untrusted-server-text
The input schema at properties.name.description contains "every other tool", wording about other tools or servers.

inputSchema.properties.name.description: "...ling Signet); every other name field on every other tool is English-only."
```

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The input takes a statement or command to run (input.code), which can change anything it can reach.
```


## Changes things (3)

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

### `decode_pawned_team`

- 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
Decode a paw-ned2 team build blob (the 'pwnd0001...>...<' format shared on PvXwiki team pages and by the paw-ned2 tool) into its individual builds: player/hero label, description, and each skill bar fully decoded. Whitespace and line wraps in the pasted blob are tolerated. For a single (non-team) build code, use decode_template instead.
```

### `decode_template`

- The input takes a statement or command to run (input.code), which can change anything it can reach.
- 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
Decode an in-game GW1 skill template code (e.g. "OwpiMypMBg1cxcBAMBdmtIKAA") into professions, attribute allocations and the 8 skills with their stats and descriptions. Whitespace and line wraps in the pasted code are tolerated. This decodes a SINGLE build code; for a multi-hero paw-ned2 team blob, use decode_pawned_team instead.
```

### `encode_template`

- 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
Compile a build (professions, attributes, 8 skills by exact English name) into an official in-game template code. The build is validated first; on rule violations the errors are returned instead of a code. Unknown skill names return closest-match suggestions. IMPORTANT: template codes MUST come from this tool — never write or guess a code by hand, hand-written codes are invalid in-game. If unsure, verify any code with decode_template.
```

## Only reads (5)

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

### `get_hero`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Look up a GW1 hero by name or by id (GWCA HeroID, matching the AccountExport plugin output). Returns profession, campaign and how the hero is unlocked. Remember: heroes can equip any skill unlocked at ACCOUNT level, but NO PvE-only skill at all — including Signet of Capture. validate_build with forHero=true reports each one as an error, not a warning. Use this for one known hero; to browse or filter the roster, use list_heroes instead.
```

### `get_skill`

- The name "get_skill" says "get": a word for reading.
- Findings: warn tool-shadowing

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Look up a single GW1 skill by exact English name or by template skill id. Returns full stats (energy, activation, recharge, adrenaline, sacrifice), profession, attribute, campaign, elite flag and description. If the name is not found, returns the closest matches so you can correct spelling. Use this when you already know the exact skill; to discover skills by profession, attribute or name fragment, use search_skills instead.
```

### `list_heroes`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List all GW1 heroes, optionally filtered by profession or campaign name. Useful for team-building: shows which professions are coverable by heroes and how each hero is unlocked.
```

### `search_skills`

- The name "search_skills" says "search": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "search" and "database": it reads databases.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search the full GW1 skill database by profession, attribute, campaign, elite flag or name fragment (valid values are documented per parameter). Returns compact records, at most `limit` of them alongside a `total` count of every match — a full page is not the whole result, page with offset. Use get_skill for full details.
```

### `validate_build`

- The name "validate_build" says "validate": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Check a build (professions, attributes, 8 skills by exact English name) against Guild Wars 1 rules: one elite max, profession/attribute ownership, primary attributes, duplicates, rank ranges. Returns { valid, errors, warnings } without encoding — use encode_template instead when you also want the template code, since it runs these same rules and refuses on any error.
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `gw1`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__gw1__get_skill",
      "mcp__gw1__search_skills",
      "mcp__gw1__validate_build",
      "mcp__gw1__get_hero",
      "mcp__gw1__list_heroes"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__gw1__decode_template",
      "mcp__gw1__decode_pawned_team",
      "mcp__gw1__encode_template"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__gw1__search_skills`: private-data

| HTTP status of an anonymous initialize | `200` |

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

https://gw1-mcp.graphmaxer.workers.dev/mcp: tools/list returned 8 tools to an anonymous client, including decode_template (write), decode_pawned_team (write), encode_template (write)
