## Exfil surface

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

| 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. | none |

## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `calculate_take_home`

- 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
Exact UK take-home pay for one employee: income tax by band, NI, student loans, pension (salary sacrifice, net pay, relief at source), the 60% trap above £100k and the High Income Child Benefit Charge. Returns net pay per year, month and week, effective and marginal rate, and GOV.UK sources. Use this instead of calculating UK deductions yourself.
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `compare_take_home`

- The name "compare_take_home" says "compare": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Compare 2 to 5 UK pay scenarios (pay rises, pension changes, moving to Scotland, student loans) side by side, with the difference in net pay from the first.
```

### `get_tax_rates`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Income tax bands (England/Wales/NI and Scotland), National Insurance, student loan thresholds and the child benefit charge for a UK tax year. Free. Years: 2025-26, 2026-27.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__takehomeapi__get_tax_rates",
      "mcp__takehomeapi__compare_take_home"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__takehomeapi__calculate_take_home"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-22T14:53:07.526Z, unchanged since 2026-10-22T14:53:07.526Z. 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 | `1` |
| 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` |

- **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 1 tool that changes things (1 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://api.takehomeapi.com/mcp: tools/list returned 3 tools to an anonymous client, including calculate_take_home (write)
```
