Anlyon alternative

1 of these tools change something. Run those as governed actions.

Declare what an action changes, and Anlyon puts it under a shared limit, binds every approval to the exact request, and grades the outcome. It works on any HTTPS API you can describe as an action.

Anlyon does not run, proxy or govern this MCP server. A tool your own code calls directly is not routed through Anlyon and is not governed by it.

Changes things 1Claude Code: ask
  • filter_dishesFilter the dining hall menus by allergen, trait, nutrient density, carbon footprint and calories.Reads text others writeNo findings

    Why it is in this group

    • 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.

    What it can reach

    • untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Filter the dining hall menus by allergen, trait, nutrient density, carbon footprint and calories. exclude_allergens removes dishes that carry any of the listed allergens; require_traits keeps only dishes that carry every listed trait; min_mhealthy is the lowest acceptable nutrient-density tier (3 = Nutrient Dense Medium or better); max_carbon is the highest acceptable carbon footprint; max_calories and max_sodium_mg are numeric caps that exclude dishes without published values. Allergen data is only as good as the site. The menu page flags the allergens the kitchen reported for a dish, but the data does not distinguish "contains" from "may contain", there are no ingredient lists, and it is not safe to treat a missing flag as an absence of the allergen. The site's own guidance is: "Look for the signs posted near each food serving area for a list of menu options with allergens highlighted in red." The "Gluten Free" trait means the dish is made without gluten, not that it is safe for someone with coeliac disease. Dedicated gluten-free pantries exist only at South Quad, East Quad, Mosher-Jordan and Bursley.

    What it can reach

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Get the full nutrition panel of one dish, including the serving size, calories, the fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrate and protein values and the micronutrients. The dish name is matched case-insensitively; an exact match wins, otherwise a unique substring match is used and an ambiguous name is reported rather than guessed.

    List the ten University of Michigan dining halls with their address, phone, e-mail, map link, the service periods published for the requested day, whether they are serving right now, and whether they have a gluten-free pantry. Cafes, markets, bakeries, grills, prices and meal plans are out of scope.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

Exfil surface

Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.

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

Reads private data1
Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
Reads text others write7
Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
Can send data out0
Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.

Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.

Findings

Matches of fixed checks, with the text they matched.

No check matched anything in these tool definitions. That is not a safety guarantee.

History

Changes to its tool definitions and to its remote endpoint, newest first.

No change seen yet. Its tools are rescanned every day, and a remote endpoint is looked at once a week.

Claude Code permissions

Allow the reads, ask before a change or a way out, deny the deletes. Paste into .claude/settings.json.

}

Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. A read that can send data out (it takes a URL, say) asks first too. It assumes the server is installed as umich-dining. Review it before you use it.
