## 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__thepaymentsnotes-ledger__check_agent_readiness` |
| 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.

### `check_agent_readiness`

- 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
Free on testnet. Automated scan, not human-verified. Scan-only quick read of whether AI agents can discover and buy from a website. Returns the engine's report as-is: scanner_version and scan_id ("v4"), report.score (scan-only), report.band (can be 'Partly assessed'), report.coverage, report.summary, report.confidence, report.can_agents_buy, report.who_eats_the_loss (display label "Who carries the risk?"; needs the 5 answers, so not assessed here), report.archetype ('unclassified' if not classified), report.rows (with unknown_reason), report.gaps, report.actions (always exactly 3: 2 business then 1 technical, each with kind "business" | "technical"), report.ledger (related Ledger entries), checks, evidence, findings, and scan_interrupted.reason (timeout|blocked|dns_tls|robots_disallowed|refused|http_error) when the scan could not finish. Input: a bare domain (e.g. "yourstore.com"). It reads public pages only; it is NOT a certification, audit or legal advice. Open questions only the business can answer come back with a link to https://thepaymentsnotes.com/readiness. Limits: 3 scans per caller per day and 50 per day overall, shared with the website; results are cached for 24h. Weekly newsletter: https://thepaymentstack.substack.com
```

### `whats_new`

- 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
Free on testnet. Recent verified Ledger changes since a date (last 30 days, max 5 items): headline, status, date, one source.
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `get_status`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Free on testnet. Status of one Ledger row (protocol, platform, wallet or stablecoin) from the human-verified Ledger: headline, status, last verified date and ONE source URL. If the name is not in the Ledger: result="unknown" plus up to 3 did_you_mean names (never a guessed answer). Call list_protocols to see every name.
```

### `get_status_detail`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Free on testnet (no payment, no wallet needed). Fuller answer for ONE Ledger row (protocol, platform, wallet or stablecoin): headline, status (authoritative), maturity (a plain-English stage derived from status, never contradicts it), steward, what_this_means (the detail after the headline, omitted if there is none), latest update date, verified date and up to 3 sources. Unknown names return result="unknown" with up to 3 did_you_mean names. Call list_protocols to see every name.
```

### `list_protocols`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Free on testnet. Every row in the human-verified Ledger (protocols, platforms, wallets, stablecoins): name, short names/aliases and status only. Use a name from here with get_status or get_status_detail.
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `thepaymentsnotes-ledger`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__thepaymentsnotes-ledger__list_protocols",
      "mcp__thepaymentsnotes-ledger__get_status",
      "mcp__thepaymentsnotes-ledger__get_status_detail"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__thepaymentsnotes-ledger__check_agent_readiness",
      "mcp__thepaymentsnotes-ledger__whats_new"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__thepaymentsnotes-ledger__check_agent_readiness`: untrusted-input

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-22T14:56:12.497Z, unchanged since 2026-10-22T14:56:12.497Z. 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 | `2` |
| 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 2 tools that change things (2 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://tpn-gateway.alwaysarafath.workers.dev/mcp: tools/list returned 5 tools to an anonymous client, including check_agent_readiness (write), whats_new (write)
