## Exfil surface

9 private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound paths in this server alone. Denying 1 outbound tool breaks every one: `mcp__epwtools__analyze_epw`.

| Tag | Meaning | Tools |
| --- | --- | --- |
| private-data | Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories. | `mcp__epwtools__analyze_epw` |
| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | `mcp__epwtools__analyze_epw` `mcp__epwtools__generate_epw` `mcp__epwtools__generate_forecast` `mcp__epwtools__generate_future_climate` `mcp__epwtools__generate_tmy` `mcp__epwtools__get_design_conditions` `mcp__epwtools__get_job_result` `mcp__epwtools__get_nearest_stations` `mcp__epwtools__list_cmip6_models` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | `mcp__epwtools__analyze_epw` |

## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (4)

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

### `generate_epw`

- The name "generate_epw" says "generate": a word for a change.
- 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
Start an actual-year (AMY) EPW + DDY + STAT for any point, 1990 to last year. 1 credit; +2 with
urban_street_level (53 US cities: hourly street-level air temperature from citizen stations). Returns a
job_id; poll with get_job_result.
```

### `generate_forecast`

- The name "generate_forecast" says "generate": a word for a change.
- 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
Start a forecast EPW for the next 1-15 days (operational sims, MPC, demand response). Up to 7 days free.
```

### `generate_future_climate`

- The name "generate_future_climate" says "generate": a word for a change.
- 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
Start a CMIP6-morphed future EPW (Belcher 2005). scenario: ssp126, ssp245, ssp370, ssp585; horizon: any
decade 2030-2100; model from list_cmip6_models. 3 credits.
```

### `generate_tmy`

- The name "generate_tmy" says "generate": a word for a change.
- 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
Start a typical meteorological year from a chosen period (at least 5 years; 10-20 is usual). 1 credit.
```

## Only reads (5)

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

### `analyze_epw`

- The name "analyze_epw" says "analyze": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "file": it reads files.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The description's first sentence says "url": it reads web pages, which anyone 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
Summary statistics of any public EPW by URL (OneBuilding, EnergyPlus, a shared file): location header,
dry-bulb mean/min/max, annual global horizontal irradiation, data range warnings. Free, no key. 10 MB max.
```

### `get_design_conditions`

- The name "get_design_conditions" says "get": 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
Heating and cooling design conditions for any site, free, in one of two modes that are never mixed.

mode="ashrae_method": the ASHRAE Handbook Ch. 14 method replicated at the nearest ASHRAE station for the
chosen edition (2025, 2021, 2017, 2013, 2009, 2005); validated about 0.25 degC from the published tables.
mode="enhanced": EPW.tools Enhanced, not the ASHRAE method: values at the site itself for today's climate
with a tested 90 % range. The DDY file for Enhanced costs 1 credit through the web or the API.

```

### `get_job_result`

- The name "get_job_result" says "get": 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
Status of a job started by a generate_* tool; when complete, the download URLs (they carry the key).
```

### `get_nearest_stations`

- The name "get_nearest_stations" says "get": 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
Nearest weather stations to a point (name, WMO id, distance, years of record). Free, no key.
```

### `list_cmip6_models`

- The name "list_cmip6_models" says "list": 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
The models available for future-climate morphing: `models` are global CMIP6 models (NASA NEX-GDDP, 25 km);
`regional` are EURO-CORDEX pairs (12.5 km, Europe only, 27-72 N / 25 W-45 E) usable as `model` ids. Free.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__epwtools__get_nearest_stations",
      "mcp__epwtools__get_design_conditions",
      "mcp__epwtools__list_cmip6_models",
      "mcp__epwtools__get_job_result"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__epwtools__analyze_epw",
      "mcp__epwtools__generate_epw",
      "mcp__epwtools__generate_tmy",
      "mcp__epwtools__generate_future_climate",
      "mcp__epwtools__generate_forecast"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__epwtools__get_nearest_stations`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__epwtools__get_design_conditions`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__epwtools__list_cmip6_models`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__epwtools__analyze_epw`: private-data, untrusted-input, outbound
- `mcp__epwtools__generate_epw`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__epwtools__generate_tmy`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__epwtools__generate_future_climate`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__epwtools__generate_forecast`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__epwtools__get_job_result`: untrusted-input

```untrusted-server-text
The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 4 tools that change things (4 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://epw.tools/api/mcp: tools/list returned 9 tools to an anonymous client, including generate_epw (write), generate_tmy (write), generate_future_climate (write), generate_forecast (write)
