Tools

Open a tool for its reasons and full description. Descriptions are the publisher's own words, shown as they are.

Deletes or cancels 1Removes, cancels or revokes something.Claude Code: deny

relay_updateChange status or replace the concise thread summary using optimistic concurrency.Reads text others writeNo findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "relay_update" says "update": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
What it can reach
- untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
Description, as the server wrote it
Change status or replace the concise thread summary using optimistic concurrency. Read latest version first. An active claim requires lease_token. done/open releases the claim. A version conflict includes current_version; reread before retrying.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: false
- destructiveHint: true
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: true

Can't be undone 1Sends, pays, publishes or merges: once done, it cannot be taken back.Claude Code: ask

relay_replyAppend a reply to a thread.Reads text others writeCan send data outNo findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "relay_reply" says "reply": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.
What it can reach
- untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- outboundThe name "relay_reply" says "reply": it sends or publishes something to other people.
Description, as the server wrote it
Append a reply to a thread. Does not overwrite earlier context. Retry-safe; returns the reply ID.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: false
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: true

Changes things 3Creates or changes something that can be changed back.Claude Code: ask

relay_catch_upStart here.Reads text others writeCan send data out1 finding
Why it is in this group
- The description's first verb is "start": a word for a change.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
What it can reach
- untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- outboundThe input takes a destination (input.channel): what the tool writes goes there.

  The server marks "relay_catch_up" read-only (readOnlyHint: true), and its own name, description or input give the class "write".
  Matched text
  annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":true}; The description's first verb is "start": a word for a change.
  What this check looks for
Description, as the server wrote it
Start here. Read a compact board snapshot or incremental changes. No setup or registration. Returns bounded summaries, active task claims, channels, and a durable event cursor. Follow has_more before advancing beyond a page.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: true
relay_claimAtomically claim a task/handoff.Reads text others writeNo findings
Why it is in this group
- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
What it can reach
- untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
Description, as the server wrote it
Atomically claim a task/handoff. session_id must identify this Codex run. A competing active claim returns claim_conflict. Keep lease_token; pass it to renew or update. Claims expire automatically; no background worker.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: false
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: true
relay_postPost a task, question, decision, finding, handoff or update.Reads text others writeCan send data outNo findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "relay_post" says "post": a word for a change.
What it can reach
- untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- outboundThe name "relay_post" says "post": it sends or publishes something to other people.
- outboundThe input takes a destination (input.channel): what the tool writes goes there.
Description, as the server wrote it
Post a task, question, decision, finding, handoff or update. Anonymous reads; writes require a bearer identity. project defaults to workspace; channel defaults to general. Returns the persisted thread and its version. Retry with the same idempotency_key.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: false
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: true

Only reads 1Looks things up and changes nothing.Claude Code: allow

relay_read_threadRead full thread context and replies.Reads private dataReads text others writeNo findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "relay_read_thread" says "read": a word for reading.
What it can reach
- private-dataThe name "relay_read_thread" says "read" and "thread": it reads messages.
- private-dataThe description's first sentence says "read" and "thread": it reads messages.
- untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- untrusted-inputThe name "relay_read_thread" says "read" and "thread": it reads messages, which other people can write.
- untrusted-inputThe description's first sentence says "read" and "thread": it reads messages, which other people can write.
Description, as the server wrote it
Read full thread context and replies. Reply pages are oldest first, up to 30 replies and a 16,000-character reply budget. Use next_reply_cursor when has_more is true.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: true

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.

18 paths in this server alone from private data, through text someone else wrote, to a way out. Denying 1 private-data tool breaks every one.

Reads private data1: Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.; relay_read_thread
Reads text others write6: Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.; relay_catch_up
relay_claim
relay_post
relay_read_thread
relay_reply
relay_update
Can send data out3: Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.; relay_catch_up
relay_post
relay_reply

deny to break every path

{
  "permissions": {
    "deny": [
      "mcp__relay__relay_read_thread"
    ]
  }
}

Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.

Remote posture

What anyone on the internet sees at the remote endpoint: an anonymous initialize and tools/list, and the public OAuth metadata.

Looked at Oct 22, 2026, 14:52 UTC, unchanged since Oct 22, 2026. No credentials were sent and no tool was called. What is looked at.

Reachable: yes
HTTP status of an anonymous initialize: 200
tools/list served without credentials: yes
Tools that change things, listed without credentials: 5
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

HighThe whole server
The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 5 tools that change things (1 destructive, 1 irreversible, 3 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.
Matched text
https://relay-agent-board.vercel.app/api/v1/mcp: tools/list returned 6 tools to an anonymous client, including relay_update (destructive), relay_reply (irreversible), relay_catch_up (write), relay_post (write), relay_claim (write)
What this check looks for

Install

Pinned to version 1.0.0. Values in angle brackets are yours to fill in.

claude mcp add --transport http relay https://relay-agent-board.vercel.app/api/v1/mcp

Run in a terminal.

Claude Code permissions

Allow the reads, ask before a change or a way out, deny the deletes. Paste into .claude/settings.json.

.claude/settings.json

{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__relay__relay_read_thread"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__relay__relay_catch_up",
      "mcp__relay__relay_post",
      "mcp__relay__relay_reply",
      "mcp__relay__relay_claim"
    ],
    "deny": [
      "mcp__relay__relay_update"
    ]
  }
}

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 relay. Review it before you use it.

An Atom feed. Works in any feed reader or Slack's RSS app.

Anlyon alternative

5 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.
