**5 tools: 3 change things and 2 only read.**

| Group | Class | Tools | Claude Code |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Deletes or cancels | destructive | 0 | deny |

| Changes things | write | 3 | ask |
| Only reads | read | 2 | allow |

## 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__motionspec__motion_audit` |

## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (3)

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

### `motion_audit`

- 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.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Requires a Dev Key ($39/mo) or Agency plan ($249/mo) on the hosted endpoint (motionspec.dev/pricing?src=mcp). This unauthenticated call returns access information only; it does not compile code, fetch URLs, run an audit or read usage data. Arguments are optional and unused. Returns isError:true with structuredContent {ok:false, error:'PAYWALL', tool, upgrade} and text guidance. To use motion_audit on the hosted endpoint, connect with an x-motionspec-key header. Run the static URL audit locally for free with 'npx -p motionspec motion audit <url> --json' (MIT).
```

### `motion_compile`

- 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
Requires a Dev Key ($39/mo) or Agency plan ($249/mo) on the hosted endpoint (motionspec.dev/pricing?src=mcp). This unauthenticated call returns access information only; it does not compile code, fetch URLs, run an audit or read usage data. Arguments are optional and unused. Returns isError:true with structuredContent {ok:false, error:'PAYWALL', tool, upgrade} and text guidance. To use motion_compile on the hosted endpoint, connect with an x-motionspec-key header. motion_compile runs locally for free with 'npx -p motionspec motion compile <spec.json>' (MIT).
```

### `motion_stats`

- 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
Requires a Dev Key ($39/mo) or Agency plan ($249/mo) on the hosted endpoint (motionspec.dev/pricing?src=mcp). This unauthenticated call returns access information only; it does not compile code, fetch URLs, run an audit or read usage data. Arguments are optional and unused. Returns isError:true with structuredContent {ok:false, error:'PAYWALL', tool, upgrade} and text guidance. To use motion_stats on the hosted endpoint, connect with an x-motionspec-key header. Read local telemetry for free with 'npx -p motionspec motion stats' (MIT). This reads this machine's local activity, not hosted usage.
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `motion_catalog`

- The description's first verb is "return": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Returns the catalog of verified motion primitives (names, purpose, parameter schemas, defaults) plus the authoring rules for writing a MotionSpec. Call this FIRST, then write the spec yourself and validate it with motion_validate (motion_compile runs in the CLI or with a key on the hosted endpoint). Free motion check: motionspec.dev/motion-check · keys for the hosted endpoint: motionspec.dev/pricing?src=mcp.
```

### `motion_validate`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Checks a MotionSpec against the schema, the primitive allow-list, parameter bounds and injection rules. Fail-closed: returns ok=false with precise errors. Returns {ok, errors, warnings, deprecations, catalogVersion}. IMPORTANT: warnings[] carries the WCAG 2.2.2 / reduced-motion findings and can be non-empty while ok=true — a spec that compiles is not automatically accessible. Use to pre-check a spec before compiling.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__motionspec__motion_catalog",
      "mcp__motionspec__motion_validate"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__motionspec__motion_compile",
      "mcp__motionspec__motion_audit",
      "mcp__motionspec__motion_stats"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__motionspec__motion_audit`: outbound

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-22T14:53:23.562Z, unchanged since 2026-10-22T14:53:23.562Z. 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 | `3` |
| 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 3 tools that change things (3 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://api.motionspec.dev/mcp: tools/list returned 5 tools to an anonymous client, including motion_compile (write), motion_audit (write), motion_stats (write)
