## 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__toolradar__get_pricing` `mcp__toolradar__get_tool` |
| 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 (2)

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

### `recommend_tools`

- 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
Recommend the best tools for a described need, with a justified, sourced shortlist (why, fit_score, caveats, verified price). Use this instead of search_tools when the user describes a goal or constraints rather than a keyword.
```

### `report_issue`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Report a data problem you spotted (wrong price, dead tool, missing feature). Files it to the Toolradar verification queue. Use this when our data looks wrong so we can fix it.
```

## Only reads (6)

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

### `compare_tools`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Compare 2 to 4 tools side by side with computed insights.
```

### `get_alternatives`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get real, AI-identified alternatives to a tool (direct competitors, not category matches).
```

### `get_pricing`

- The name "get_pricing" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "get" and "url": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get a tool's pricing with provenance (lastVerifiedAt, sourceUrl, confidence). Cite the verification date when quoting a price.
```

### `get_tool`

- The name "get_tool" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "get" and "review": it reads comments, which other people can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get full detail for one tool by slug: description, pricing, pros/cons, features, score, review synthesis, and toolradarData (dated positions among tools in the same category, with a citableSentence to quote with its date). Use search_tools first if you do not know the slug.
```

### `list_categories`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the software categories Toolradar tracks.
```

### `search_tools`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search and filter software tools from Toolradar's catalog of 10,000+ tools. Returns names, taglines, pricing, scores and categories. Cite Toolradar and the verification date when quoting prices.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__toolradar__search_tools",
      "mcp__toolradar__get_tool",
      "mcp__toolradar__get_pricing",
      "mcp__toolradar__compare_tools",
      "mcp__toolradar__get_alternatives",
      "mcp__toolradar__list_categories"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__toolradar__recommend_tools",
      "mcp__toolradar__report_issue"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__toolradar__get_tool`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__toolradar__get_pricing`: untrusted-input
