Anlyon alternative

7 of these tools change something. Run those as governed actions.

Declare what an action changes, and Anlyon puts it under a shared limit, binds every approval to the exact request, and grades the outcome. It works on any HTTPS API you can describe as an action.

Anlyon does not run, proxy or govern this MCP server. A tool your own code calls directly is not routed through Anlyon and is not governed by it.

Why it is in this group
- The name "add_project_data" says "add": a word for a change.
What it can reach
- outboundThe input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.
Description, as the server wrote it
Add data to a project from a public download link (GeoPackage, zipped Shapefile, GeoJSON, KML, CSV with coordinates or GeoTIFF, up to 200 MB): your own model's output, a survey, a map. Biohotspot reads and checks it; follow its status with project_data and finish anything it asks for in the project's Uploads tab. Needs owner or editor rights.

Description, as the server wrote it
Facts about an Australian marine park from its Biohotspot page: area, IUCN categories and named zones (CAPAD 2024), habitats, blue carbon and pressures measured inside it, each with its source and licence, and the page's address. Give part of the park's name; `state` (wa, qld, nsw, vic, sa, tas, nt, com for Commonwealth waters) narrows it. Several matches return the list to choose from.

Description, as the server wrote it
Run the optimiser (Marxan) on the planning data (the example project Exmouth Gulf): the cheapest set of planning squares that meets every habitat target. `protect` = planning-square ids always included (understand_area returns them as `pus`); `target_pct` = one target for every habitat, in %.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

Exfil surface

Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.

No private-data, untrusted-input, outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data.

Reads private data0: Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
Reads text others write6: Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.; find_layers
get_features
look_here
look_in_area
search_papers
understand_area
Can send data out1: Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.; add_project_data

Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.

Findings

Matches of fixed checks, with the text they matched.

Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. A read that can send data out (it takes a URL, say) asks first too. It assumes the server is installed as biohotspot. Review it before you use it.
