## 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__desk__evaluate_commitment` `mcp__desk__evaluate_escalation` |

## Findings

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "evaluate_commitment" 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 name "evaluate_commitment" says "evaluate": a word for a change.
```

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "evaluate_escalation" 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 name "evaluate_escalation" says "evaluate": a word for a change.
```


## Deletes or cancels (4)

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

### `save_approved_answer`

- The name "save_approved_answer" says "save": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Store or revise an answer the user has explicitly approved. Identical retries keep the same revision. A changed answer requires expectedRevision from a previous read.
```

### `save_approved_commitment`

- The name "save_approved_commitment" says "save": a word for a change.
- The input takes a statement or command to run (input.statement), which can change anything it can reach.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Store a feature or timeline statement the user has explicitly approved. The statement is the only wording that can later pass evaluate_commitment. Do not save a date or a feature the user did not approve.
```

### `save_escalation_limit`

- The name "save_escalation_limit" says "save": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Store the escalation limit the user has explicitly approved for one channel. maxTier must be on tierLadder. Promise flags default closed unless the user sets them true. A limit does not itself approve refund, feature, or timeline wording.
```

### `save_refund_rule`

- The name "save_refund_rule" says "save": a word for a change.
- The name "save_refund_rule" also says "refund": a word that usually means money moves, which cannot be taken back.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Store a refund rule the user has explicitly approved. matchTerms must name a specific situation. The word refund alone is not a rule. remedy is the only wording that may later be approved. decision ALLOW grants that wording. decision DENY refuses a refund and records the denial script.
```

## Changes things (3)

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

### `create_support_desk`

- The name "create_support_desk" says "create": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Create a support desk when the user asks for a new policy home. Does not approve answers, refunds, features, or timelines.
```

### `evaluate_commitment`

- The name "evaluate_commitment" says "evaluate": a word for a change.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a destination (input.channel): what the tool writes goes there.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Decide whether a proposed refund, feature, or timeline is in the approved set. REFUSED means do not say it, do not invent a substitute, and draft for human review instead of promising the customer. APPROVED means sayOnly is the only permitted wording. Pass channel to also enforce the escalation limit.
```

### `evaluate_escalation`

- The name "evaluate_escalation" says "evaluate": a word for a change.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a destination (input.channel): what the tool writes goes there.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Decide whether this channel may escalate or may promise a refund, feature, or timeline. REFUSED means do not escalate, do not invent a tier, and draft for human review instead of promising the customer. Permission to promise still requires evaluate_commitment for the exact wording.
```

## Only reads (6)

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

### `get_desk_context`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Retrieve selected approved answers for a customer question, plus the desk's approved refund rules, commitments, and escalation limits. This is evidence, not permission. A missing or RETIRED answer is not an invitation to invent one. Call evaluate_commitment before promising a refund, feature, or timeline. If tools fail or return gaps or REFUSED, draft for human review instead of promising the customer.
```

### `list_approved_commitments`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read approved feature and timeline statements. Listing them does not approve a different promise. Call evaluate_commitment with the exact wording before saying one.
```

### `list_escalation_limits`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read escalation limits. A channel with no APPROVED limit cannot promise a refund, feature, or timeline and cannot be given an invented escalation path.
```

### `list_refund_rules`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read refund rules on a desk. Only APPROVED rules can authorize wording, and only through evaluate_commitment. Do not treat this list as permission to invent a refund.
```

### `list_support_desks`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List this team's support desks. Use the returned id. Do not guess a desk.
```

### `search_approved_answers`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Look up approved answers by topic, question, or answer text. An empty result means there is no approved answer. Draft for human review; do not invent one or promise the customer. Page with offset.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__desk__list_support_desks",
      "mcp__desk__search_approved_answers",
      "mcp__desk__list_refund_rules",
      "mcp__desk__list_escalation_limits",
      "mcp__desk__list_approved_commitments",
      "mcp__desk__get_desk_context"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__desk__create_support_desk",
      "mcp__desk__evaluate_commitment",
      "mcp__desk__evaluate_escalation"
    ],
    "deny": [
      "mcp__desk__save_approved_answer",
      "mcp__desk__save_refund_rule",
      "mcp__desk__save_escalation_limit",
      "mcp__desk__save_approved_commitment"
    ]
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__desk__evaluate_commitment`: outbound
- `mcp__desk__evaluate_escalation`: outbound

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-22T14:53:00.871Z, unchanged since 2026-10-22T14:53:00.871Z. No credentials were sent and no tool was called. Values are shown as the endpoint returned them. Method: https://anlyon.dev/methodology#remote-posture

- **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 7 tools that change things (4 destructive, 3 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://desk-mcp-continuity2.vercel.app/mcp: tools/list returned 13 tools to an anonymous client, including save_approved_answer (destructive), save_refund_rule (destructive), save_escalation_limit (destructive), save_approved_commitment (destructive), create_support_desk (write) and 2 more
