## Exfil surface

No private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data 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. | `mcp__geospark__calculate_distance` `mcp__geospark__geocode` `mcp__geospark__get_active_fires` `mcp__geospark__get_air_quality` `mcp__geospark__get_elevation` `mcp__geospark__get_weather` `mcp__geospark__isochrone` `mcp__geospark__location_report` `mcp__geospark__overture_features` `mcp__geospark__reverse_geocode` `mcp__geospark__route` `mcp__geospark__select_site` `mcp__geospark__travel_time_matrix` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | none |

## Findings

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

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

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

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":true}; The name "select_site" says "select": a word for a change.
```


## Changes things (9)

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

### `calculate_distance`

- 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 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
Exact geodesic distance between two places or geometries on the WGS84 ellipsoid.

        Use for any "how far" question instead of estimating. For NAMED places pass place_a and
        place_b; the server geocodes them, so never type coordinates for a place yourself. Use
        point_a/point_b only for coordinates the user gave or another tool returned. For lines
        and polygons the distance is between their nearest points. Returns metres and kilometres.
        
```

### `check_spatial_relationship`

- 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
Ground-truth topology: does geometry_a <relationship> geometry_b?

        Use instead of guessing containment, overlap or adjacency. Invalid geometries (for
        example self-intersecting polygons) are refused with the reason.
        
```

### `isochrone`

- 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 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
Where can you get to from a point within N minutes on foot, by bike or by car?
        Returns one polygon per contour with its geodesic area (Valhalla over OpenStreetMap).
```

### `location_report`

- 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 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
A dossier for a place: address, elevation, weather, and nearby amenities with exact
        distances, as a GeoJSON map layer listing every data source used. Takes ~10-30 s.
```

### `overture_features`

- The description's first verb is "open": a word for a change.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Open global map data from Overture Maps, no API key: points of interest (with
        categories), building footprints (height, floors, geodesic footprint area), road and path
        segments (geodesic length), or `divisions`, the administrative areas containing the point
        (country, region, city, neighbourhood). Results are nearest first, with distances in metres.
        Can take 5-20 s on a cold cache.
```

### `route`

- 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 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
Driving route between two points (OSRM over OpenStreetMap): line geometry, distance
        in metres and duration in seconds.
```

### `select_site`

- The name "select_site" says "select": a word for a change.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Rank candidate sites in an area by geodesic distance to amenities you want nearby and
        away from ones to avoid (OpenStreetMap data). Takes ~10-30 s.
```

### `spatial_operation`

- 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
Compute a buffer (shape-preserving, metres), geodesic area or length, centroid or convex hull.

        Returns the resulting geometry as GeoJSON with its measurements and units.
        
```

### `travel_time_matrix`

- 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
Network travel time (minutes) and distance (metres) from each origin to each destination.
        Note: points here are [latitude, longitude] pairs.
```

## Only reads (6)

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text

        which one they mean, or add a region.
