## Exfil surface

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

| Tag | Meaning | Tools |
| --- | --- | --- |
| private-data | Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories. | `mcp__lantern-works-deals__search_deals` |
| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | `mcp__lantern-works-deals__compare_deals` `mcp__lantern-works-deals__compare_gpu_prices` `mcp__lantern-works-deals__get_deal` `mcp__lantern-works-deals__get_price_changes` `mcp__lantern-works-deals__optimize_agent_stack` `mcp__lantern-works-deals__optimize_stack` `mcp__lantern-works-deals__search_deals` |

## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (2)

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

### `optimize_agent_stack`

- 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
Estimate a monthly stack cost from a short description of the agent being built.

description: free text, e.g. 'scrapes 20k JS pages/month via 5 GB residential proxies, 3k search queries,
summarizes with an LLM, budget $300/mo'. Parsed deterministically (keywords/regex, no LLM) into components:
gpu, scraping, proxy, search, llm_api, email, hosting, database, monitoring. Optional fields override the parse:
gpu_hours (GPU-hours/month), gpu_model ('H100', 'A100', 'RTX 4090'), model_size_b (billions of params; sets a
minimum VRAM using FP16 x 1.2), scrape_pages, js_rendering, proxy_gb, search_queries, emails_sent, llm_api,
monthly_budget_usd. Each component gets the cheapest option with a cited price among tracked providers, with
calc, source_url, verified_at, referral_disclosure (set when the link is a referral link) and manual-signup
notes. Components with no cited price say 'no sourced price tracked' (nothing is estimated). Totals show the
math and say whether they are complete. Pulled listings are excluded. Every option has data_age_hours, degraded (> 48 h) and stale (> 7 days); max_data_age_hours drops older options (excluded_too_old counts them). Same data as optimize_stack,
compare_gpu_prices and the deal feed.
```

### `optimize_stack`

- 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
Cheapest suitable stack among tracked providers for monthly needs (set the quantities you need, rest 0).

scrape_pages: pages/month without JS rendering. scrape_pages_js: pages/month needing JS rendering.
proxy_gb: residential proxy GB/month. emails_sent: transactional emails/month. search_queries: search API
queries/month. gpu_hours: GPU-hours/month (1 GPU), optionally gpu_model e.g. 'H100', 'A100', 'RTX 4090'.
Each line has the chosen plan, monthly_cost_usd, calc, vendor quote, source_url, checked_at and assumptions,
plus alternatives. A vendor price that isn't published is 'unknown' (never estimated). manual_signup_only=true
means a human must sign up (never automate it); exclude_manual_signup=true drops those plans. Same data as
https://thelanternworks.com/api/v1/stack-pricing.json and /tools/stack-optimizer/.
```

## Only reads (5)

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

### `compare_deals`

- The name "compare_deals" says "compare": 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
Compare 2-5 deals side by side (price, unit, offer type, code, verification), best value first.
```

### `compare_gpu_prices`

- The name "compare_gpu_prices" says "compare": 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
Compare tracked GPU rental prices for one model (e.g. 'H100', 'A100 SXM', 'RTX 4090', 'L40S'), cheapest first.

Same data as https://thelanternworks.com/api/v1/gpu-prices.json. Sorted by hourly_usd ascending; each result
has source_url and checked_at. 'Cheapest' means cheapest among tracked providers, not the whole market.
limit 1-25. Unknown model returns not_found listing tracked models.
Each result has tier_class: on-demand | community | marketplace | interruptible (spot/preemptible) |
reserved | dedicated-monthly. Reserved (reservation/commitment 'starting from') rates are left out unless
include_reserved=true, and even then they are never reported as cheapest. The cheapest overall can be spot or community capacity; on_demand_only=true keeps only
on-demand rates, and the summary names the cheapest on-demand rate when the overall cheapest isn't.
include_history=true adds each result's price_history (daily-snapshot change points) and history.recent_changes
(price changes for this model among tracked providers, last 30 days) from /api/v1/gpu-prices/history.json.
Each result has data_age_hours (hours since its price was last verified), degraded (> 48 h) and stale (> 7 days).
max_data_age_hours (optional) drops older rates; excluded_too_old reports how many were dropped.
```

### `get_deal`

- The name "get_deal" says "get": 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 "get" and "url": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get one deal's public record by id, including redeem_url and agent_instructions.
```

### `get_price_changes`

- The name "get_price_changes" 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
GPU rental price changes among tracked providers, newest first, each with old/new hourly price, change_pct,
direction and the vendor source_url.

since: 'YYYY-MM-DD' returns every change on or after that date (daily snapshots in
/api/v1/gpu-prices/history.json); omitted returns the latest day's moves (/api/v1/gpu-price-changes.json).
gpu: optional model filter (substring, e.g. 'H100'). limit 1-200. Includes data_checked_at and next_refresh_utc
(prices refresh daily at about 10:23 UTC), so you can call again after the next refresh to see what moved.
```

### `search_deals`

- The name "search_deals" says "search": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "search" and "email": it reads mail.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The description's first sentence says "search" and "email": it reads inbound email, which other people can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search agent work-stack deals (compute, search, email, unblock, hosting...).

offer_type: verified_discount | listed_discount (not confirmed; verified_at null) | free_tier | trial | standard_referral | credit_only_referral.
max_price excludes deals with unknown price. limit 1-25. Pass next_cursor back as cursor to page.
```
