## Exfil surface

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

| 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. | `mcp__neumann__buy_credits` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | `mcp__neumann__feedback` |

## Findings

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"openWorldHint":false}; The description's first verb is "convert": a word for a change.
```

- **info** The word "credentials" in `share_result` ([credentials-mention](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#credentials-mention))

```untrusted-server-text
The description mentions "credential".

description: "...the resulting share_url itself needs no credential to view. Example: {"run_id":"run_8f3c2a..."
```


## Deletes or cancels (1)

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

### `buy_credits`

- The description's first verb is "purchase": a word that usually means money moves, which cannot be taken back.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Purchases credits using a payment method already saved from a prior Stripe Checkout session. Use this when an authenticated account is running low on credits and needs more to keep submitting runs or analyses, without a human re-entering card details. See GET /billing/pricing for the current per-credit price. Example: {"credits":100}
```

## Can't be undone (1)

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

### `feedback`

- The description's first verb is "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.
- Tag outbound: The description's first verb is "send": it sends or publishes something to other people.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Sends feedback, a feature request, or a bug report straight to the Neumann team, CC'ing your sender_email so you keep a copy. Use this when something about the service is wrong, missing, or confusing and you want a human to see it directly rather than guessing at a workaround. Anonymous submissions are allowed. Example: {"feedback_type":"feature_request","message":"Add CSV export for run results.","sender_email":"agent@example.com"}
```

## Changes things (6)

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

### `estimate`

- 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
Pre-flight-sizes a graph without running it: estimated peak memory, engine complexity, which tier (small/large) it would run as, and the credit cost. Use this when you want to know what a run will cost or how heavy it is before committing to it, especially for a large or unfamiliar graph. Free; no credits debited. Example: {"graph":{"root_nodes":[{"id":"root","distribution_type":"normal","distribution_params":{"mean":100,"std":15}}],"calc_nodes":[{"id":"out","formula":"{e1}"}],"edges":[{"id":"e1","source":"root","target":"out"}],"run_params":{"trials":1000,"time_periods":12}}}
```

### `oat_sensitivity`

- The description's first verb is "run": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Runs a one-at-a-time tornado sensitivity analysis: sweeps each root node over a set of quantiles (others held at baseline) and measures how the target node responds, ranked by impact. Use this when you need to know which uncertain input most drives an outcome, so you know what to de-risk or estimate more carefully first. Debits one credit for authenticated callers. Example: {"graph":{"root_nodes":[{"id":"root","distribution_type":"normal","distribution_params":{"mean":100,"std":15}}],"calc_nodes":[{"id":"out","formula":"{e1}"}],"edges":[{"id":"e1","source":"root","target":"out"}],"run_params":{"trials":1000,"time_periods":12}}}
```

### `run_simulation`

- The name "run_simulation" says "run": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Runs a Monte Carlo simulation over a graph of probabilistic root and calculated nodes, returning the full output distribution instead of one guessed number. Use this when you need the range and likelihood of outcomes for a plan driven by uncertain inputs, not just its average case. Both tiers run to completion and return the full result in this same call, never a run_id to poll. Example: {"graph":{"root_nodes":[{"id":"root","distribution_type":"normal","distribution_params":{"mean":100,"std":15}}],"calc_nodes":[{"id":"out","formula":"{e1}"}],"edges":[{"id":"e1","source":"root","target":"out"}],"run_params":{"trials":1000,"time_periods":12}}}
```

### `scenario_analysis`

- The description's first verb is "run": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Runs a simulation once and summarises a target node's worst/median/best outcomes (any percentiles), each paired with a best-effort driving input per root node. Use this when you need a quick worst-case/median/best-case narrative for a plan rather than the full distribution. Debits one credit for authenticated callers. Example: {"graph":{"root_nodes":[{"id":"root","distribution_type":"normal","distribution_params":{"mean":100,"std":15}}],"calc_nodes":[{"id":"out","formula":"{e1}"}],"edges":[{"id":"e1","source":"root","target":"out"}],"run_params":{"trials":1000,"time_periods":12}}}
```

### `share_result`

- The description's first verb is "create": a word for a change.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Creates (or fetches the existing) public share link for a PERSISTED run from the stored-graph flow, renderable as HTML/JSON/SVG. Use this when you want to hand a result to someone without giving them API access -- only for a run saved via the stored-graph flow: a run_simulation result is ephemeral and has no usable run_id. Requires authentication (api_key argument or an Authorization: Bearer token) to CREATE the link; the resulting share_url itself needs no credential to view. Example: {"run_id":"run_8f3c2a"}
```

### `solve_distribution_parameters`

- The description's first verb is "convert": 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
Converts a human-style estimate (a min/max range at a stated confidence, or a most-likely value) into the distribution_params a root node needs. Use this when you have a rough verbal estimate like 'between 80 and 120, 90% confident' and need engine-ready parameters rather than guessing them yourself. Free; no credits debited. Example: {"distribution_type":"normal","min_estimate":80,"max_estimate":120,"percentile_range":0.9}
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `get_results`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetches the status and, once available, the summarised result for a previously-submitted run by its run_id. Use this when you want to re-check or re-fetch a run you already submitted (e.g. via run_simulation) without resubmitting the graph -- run_simulation itself already blocks until done and returns the full result directly, so this is not a poll-until-ready step for it. Example: {"run_id":"run_8f3c2a"}
```

### `validate_graph`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Checks a graph for structural problems (cycles, dangling edges, unknown distributions, missing refs) before you run it, returning a list of issues by rule and severity. Use this when you built or edited a graph by hand and want to catch mistakes before spending a run on it. Free; no credits debited. Example: {"graph":{"root_nodes":[{"id":"root","distribution_type":"normal","distribution_params":{"mean":100,"std":15}}],"calc_nodes":[{"id":"out","formula":"{e1}"}],"edges":[{"id":"e1","source":"root","target":"out"}],"run_params":{"trials":1000,"time_periods":12}}}
```
