## 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__kelvin__cross_reference` |
| 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 (3)

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

### `part_details`

- 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
One part by MPN: its extracted specs and, optionally, the full TAS catalogue record behind them (datasheet URL, mechanical drawing, provenance).
```

### `recommend_parts`

- 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
Kelvin's deterministic selector: rank real parts against a designRequirements block and return the candidates with the margins that ranked them. Same authority Kirchhoff and Heaviside select through — no LLM judgement, reproducible.
```

### `spec_distribution`

- 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
How one numeric spec is distributed across a filtered slice of a family — bucket counts (log or linear) plus how many parts state the value at all. Answers 'what is available' questions that a top-N list cannot.
```

## Only reads (4)

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

### `cross_reference`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find substitutes for a part by MPN — the deterministic, program-only cross-reference the Kelvin web app runs: pre-gate the catalogue at the ranker's own reject edges, then score every candidate on value, ratings, footprint and mount type. No LLM judgement. An original whose own specs are incomplete can never yield a clean 'recommended'.
```

### `describe_family`

- The name "describe_family" says "describe": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The exact field names one family can be filtered, sorted and bucketed on, and the designRequirements keys its selector reads. Call this before search_parts on an unfamiliar family rather than guessing field names.
```

### `list_families`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Every component family in the TAS catalogue, with how many parts it holds and whether it has a deterministic selector. Start here.
```

### `search_parts`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Parametric search over one family: numeric ranges, categorical values, MPN substring and manufacturer, with optional facet counts. This is the catalogue question — 'what parts do we have that ...' — and needs no converter design.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__kelvin__list_families",
      "mcp__kelvin__describe_family",
      "mcp__kelvin__search_parts",
      "mcp__kelvin__cross_reference"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__kelvin__part_details",
      "mcp__kelvin__recommend_parts",
      "mcp__kelvin__spec_distribution"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```
