## Exfil surface

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

| 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__growtsy__etsy_fee_calculator` `mcp__growtsy__etsy_listing_check` `mcp__growtsy__etsy_niche_check` `mcp__growtsy__etsy_rank_check` `mcp__growtsy__etsy_shop_audit` `mcp__growtsy__etsy_shop_name_check` `mcp__growtsy__etsy_shop_sales` `mcp__growtsy__etsy_tag_ideas` `mcp__growtsy__etsy_top_shops` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | `mcp__growtsy__etsy_listing_check` `mcp__growtsy__etsy_rank_check` |

## Findings

- **warn** Annotations that disagree with the tool in `etsy_top_shops` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

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

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


## Changes things (7)

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

### `etsy_fee_calculator`

- 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
Etsy's fees for one order in the seller's country: listing fee, transaction fee, payment processing, regulatory operating fee and VAT on fees, from Etsy's published rates. Assumes no sales tax on the order and no Offsite Ads.
```

### `etsy_niche_check`

- 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
Facts from one Etsy search: Etsy's active listing count for the phrase, the middle half and median of USD-priced listing prices (other currencies counted, not converted), tags and title phrases the listings share, and the shops behind them. No demand or saturation verdict and no search volume (Etsy's API does not provide it).
```

### `etsy_rank_check`

- 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.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Position of a listing (or a shop's listings) in the first 100 active listings Etsy's API returns for a search phrase, in relevance order, and which words of the phrase are missing from its title and tags. Beyond 100 it says 'not in the first 100'. etsy.com search can differ per shopper.
```

### `etsy_shop_name_check`

- 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
Checks up to 6 shop names against Etsy's shop name rules and whether an Etsy shop already uses each name. 'No shop found' does NOT mean available: Etsy does not reuse names of closed shops and closed shops do not show up.
```

### `etsy_shop_sales`

- 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
Etsy's own sales count (transaction_sold_count: total sales of the shop, not per listing), active listings, favorites and opening year for up to 5 Etsy shops. No revenue estimate. Use for 'how many sales does this Etsy shop have?' and comparing competitors.
```

### `etsy_tag_ideas`

- 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
The tags and title phrases the first 100 Etsy listings for a phrase actually use, each counted once per listing, plus a 13-tag starting set. No search volume (Etsy's API does not provide it).
```

### `etsy_top_shops`

- The description's first verb is "run": 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
Runs one Etsy search (first 100 active listings, relevance order) and returns the shops behind it: how many of those listings each shop has, Etsy's shop sales count and opening year. Use for 'who sells <product> on Etsy?' and 'who are my competitors?'.
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `etsy_listing_check`

- The description's first verb is "read": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The description's first sentence says "read" and "mention": it reads comments, which other people can write. The input takes a URL (input.url), and the tool reads it: it reads web pages, which anyone can write.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.
- Claude Code: ask, because it is tagged outbound.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Reads one Etsy listing from Etsy's API: title, the 13 tags, photo count and sizes, video, when it expires and whether it auto-renews, favorites, and whether the description mentions AI. Applies Etsy's published title/tag rules and returns the first thing to fix. Use for 'is my listing set up right?' and 'when does my listing expire?'.
```

### `etsy_shop_audit`

- The description's first verb is "read": a word for reading.
- 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
Reads up to 100 active listings of an Etsy shop from Etsy's API and checks each one against Etsy's published title, tag and photo rules. Returns the shop's first problem and how many listings have it, per-listing issues, and Etsy's shop sales count (the shop's lifetime total, not per listing). Use for 'why is my Etsy shop not getting sales?' and 'what should I fix first?'.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__growtsy__etsy_shop_audit"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__growtsy__etsy_listing_check",
      "mcp__growtsy__etsy_shop_sales",

      "mcp__growtsy__etsy_rank_check",
      "mcp__growtsy__etsy_shop_name_check",
      "mcp__growtsy__etsy_tag_ideas",
      "mcp__growtsy__etsy_fee_calculator"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

```untrusted-server-text
The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 7 tools that change things (7 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://www.growtsy.com/api/mcp: tools/list returned 9 tools to an anonymous client, including etsy_shop_sales (write), etsy_top_shops (write), etsy_niche_check (write), etsy_rank_check (write), etsy_shop_name_check (write) and 2 more
