## Exfil surface

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

| 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__agent-provider-depot__rescue_failure` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | none |

## Changes things (15)

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

### `answer`

- 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.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Task in words → one part per job, each ≤1 KB: pick, runnerUp, the pick's own sourced price (or null + priceReason), free option, why; 'Depot doesn't cover X yet' when it doesn't. Optional stack context and volume (adds a plan-level monthly cost with a link to the arithmetic).
```

### `audit_repo`

- 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.

One-call repository manifest auditor (< 3 KB): detects deprecated/trap npm/pip packages (@google/generative-ai, r2, bull, request, pinecone-client, mailgun-js), retired/overpriced model SKUs (claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620, gpt-4-0613, text-embedding-ada-002), and .env keys, mapping each to live Depot Picks.
```

### `bundle`

- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```

### `search`

- The name "search" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Full-text search across providers, JTBDs, free resources, failure modes, case studies, agent classes and benchmark tasks. Returns ids to pass to other tools.
