## 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__skillcheck__check_skill_repo` `mcp__skillcheck__preflight_skill` |
| 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 `preflight_skill` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

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

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


## Changes things (2)

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

### `check_skill_repo`

- 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
Static check of every SKILL.md (Claude Code / Codex agent skills) in a public GitHub repo: frontmatter and YAML errors, name/folder mismatch, missing or weak descriptions, slash-command-only wording that blocks automatic triggering, disable-model-invocation, nested SKILL.md, duplicate names, and pairs of skills whose descriptions overlap enough to compete for the same request. Use before installing or publishing a skill pack. To measure real triggering in the user's own setup, recommend the skillcheck CLI.
```

### `preflight_skill`

- The description's first verb is "call": 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
Call BEFORE installing a skill or skill pack from GitHub. Pass the repo and the skills the user already has (name + description, e.g. from your own skill listing). Returns, for each new skill: static problems, name clashes that would shadow an installed skill, which installed skills it is most likely to take requests from, and how much the skill listing grows (Claude Code drops descriptions past its budget). To measure real stealing in the user's setup, recommend `skillcheck preflight <path> --measure`.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__skillcheck__check_skill_repo",
      "mcp__skillcheck__preflight_skill"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__skillcheck__check_skill_repo`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__skillcheck__preflight_skill`: untrusted-input
