## 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__tru8__tru8_check` |
| 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 (1)

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

### `tru8_check`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- 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
Evidence research for a factual claim or article URL.

    Submit a claim as text or paste an article URL. URLs are auto-detected
    and trigger article mode: the pipeline extracts claims from the page
    and auto-selects up to 5 for evidence research.

    Tiers (in fallback order):
    - lookup    (~£0.02, instant) — cached prior analysis
    - consensus (~£0.03, instant) — cross-user aggregate landscape (k≥3 checks)
    - quick     (~£0.07, ~15s) — web search + heuristic classification
    - full      (~£0.15, ~60-90s) — web + specialist APIs, LLM classification, coverage recovery

    Charges based on tier actually executed, not tier requested.
    Identical calls within ten minutes return the same check, so a
    transport retry never runs — or charges — twice.
    Set max_tier to control maximum spend per call.

    Output structure:
    - claims[].claimMap.elements[] — verifiable sub-claims with state
      (supported/disputed/unresolved)
    - claims[].claimMap.elements[].evidenceRefs[] — evidence mapped to elements
      with relationship (supports/challenges/context) and reasoning
    - claims[].evidence[] — sources classified by tier (primary/reporting/
      commentary) and type (data/official/news/analysis/opinion/academic)
    - claims[].claimMap.orientation — mechanical summary from element states
    - _meta — execution metadata: executedTier, chargedPence, limitations

    A run that has not finished after several minutes returns
    {checkId, status, chargedPence, message} instead of the result: fetch it
    later with tru8_get_result (free). A run that FAILS raises an error and is
    not charged.

    Per-argument guidance lives on the parameters themselves (see the
    Annotated/Field declarations above), which is where a client can actually
    read it — a docstring "Args:" block never reaches the tool's inputSchema.
    
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `tru8_get_result`

- The name "tru8_get_result" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Retrieve a previously submitted check with pre-computed analytics.

    Returns the full result including a _computed block with tier/type
    distributions, corroboration groups, diagnostic values, timeline
    analysis, element state summaries, and per-claim dispositions.

    Use this over tru8_get_result_raw when you want structured analytics
    ready for summarisation or comparison without post-processing.
    
```

### `tru8_get_result_raw`

- The name "tru8_get_result_raw" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Retrieve a previously submitted check without computed analytics.

    Returns claims, elements, evidence, and claim maps only. No _computed
    block. Smaller response payload. Use this when you will compute your
    own aggregations or only need specific fields from the raw data.
    
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `tru8`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__tru8__tru8_get_result",
      "mcp__tru8__tru8_get_result_raw"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__tru8__tru8_check"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__tru8__tru8_check`: untrusted-input

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-22T14:54:28.089Z, unchanged since 2026-10-22T14:54:28.089Z. No credentials were sent and no tool was called. Values are shown as the endpoint returned them. Method: https://anlyon.dev/methodology#remote-posture

| Fact | Observed |
| --- | --- |
| Reachable | `yes` |
| HTTP status of an anonymous initialize | `200` |
| tools/list served without credentials | `yes` |
| Tools that change things, listed without credentials | `1` |
| Protocol version | `2025-06-18` |
| WWW-Authenticate on 401 | `not observed` |
| resource_metadata in WWW-Authenticate | `none` |
| RFC 9728 protected resource metadata | `none` |
| Authorization servers | `none` |
| Legacy HTTP+SSE transport | `no` |
| Dynamic client registration | `not observed` |
| Client ID metadata documents | `not observed` |

- **warn** Tools that change things, listed to anyone ([unauth-remote-writes](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#unauth-remote-writes))

```untrusted-server-text
The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 1 tool that changes things (1 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://api.trueight.com/mcp/: tools/list returned 3 tools to an anonymous client, including tru8_check (write)
