Anlyon alternative

9 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.

cancel_faxCancel a fax while it is queued; best effort once it is sending.Reads text others writeNo findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "cancel_fax" says "cancel": a word for removing or ending something.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
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
Cancel a fax while it is queued; best effort once it is sending. Never a recall of pages already sent. Scope: fax:cancel.

send_approved_faxQueue a quoted fax.Reads text others writeCan send data outNo findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "send_approved_fax" says "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
What it can reach
- untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- outboundThe name "send_approved_fax" says "send": it sends or publishes something to other people.
Description, as the server wrote it
Queue a quoted fax. A quote with authorization_required=false sends as is; otherwise pass the approval_id of an approved request bound to this quote (request_fax_approval), or send under a delegated policy that allows it. Repeat with the same idempotency_key to get the same fax back. The answer is queued, never delivered: poll get_fax_status. Scope: fax:send.

Read a received fax (inbox_item_id) or a document (document_id) with OCR and, with a schema (a JSON Schema object of string, number, boolean or date fields), extract those fields with page citations and confidence.

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.

96 paths in this server alone from private data, through text someone else wrote, to a way out. Denying 3 outbound tools breaks every one.
