## 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__umich-dining__list_locations` |
| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | `mcp__umich-dining__filter_dishes` `mcp__umich-dining__find_open_now` `mcp__umich-dining__get_hours` `mcp__umich-dining__get_item_nutrition` `mcp__umich-dining__get_menu` `mcp__umich-dining__list_locations` `mcp__umich-dining__search_dishes` |
| 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 (1)

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

### `filter_dishes`

- 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
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.
```

## Only reads (6)

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

### `find_open_now`

- The name "find_open_now" says "find": 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
Return the dining halls that are serving at the current time, and the ones that are not, with the service periods of today.
```

### `get_hours`

- The name "get_hours" 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
Get the service periods published for a dining hall on the requested day, together with the hall's regular weekly schedule. Without a hall argument every hall is returned.
```

### `get_item_nutrition`

- The name "get_item_nutrition" 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
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.
```

### `get_menu`

- The name "get_menu" 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
Get the menu of one dining hall: meals, stations and dishes, with each dish's traits (Vegan, Halal, Gluten Free, Nutrient Dense tier, Carbon Footprint tier), allergens and nutrition panel. The date defaults to today; the site publishes menus for today-3 days to today+14 days.
```

### `list_locations`

- The name "list_locations" says "list": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "list" and "mail": 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 "list" and "mail": it reads inbound email, which other people can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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.
```

### `search_dishes`

- The name "search_dishes" says "search": 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
Search dish names across the dining halls, or within one hall. The match is a case-insensitive substring match on the dish name.
```

## Claude Code permissions
