## 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__supercheap-shopping__catalog_get_product` `mcp__supercheap-shopping__catalog_get_similar_products` `mcp__supercheap-shopping__catalog_search_products` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | none |

## Findings

- **warn** Annotations that disagree with the tool in `catalog_search_products` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "catalog_search_products" as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false), and its words say it reads.

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":false,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":true}; The name "catalog_search_products" says "search": a word for reading.
```

- **warn** Annotations that disagree with the tool in `catalog_get_product` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "catalog_get_product" as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false), and its words say it reads.

- **warn** Annotations that disagree with the tool in `catalog_get_similar_products` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "catalog_get_similar_products" as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false), and its words say it reads.

## Changes things (4)

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

### `catalog_get_product`

- The name "catalog_get_product" says "get": a word for reading.
- The server marks it as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false).
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get product details, offer, attributes, variants, media, and a SuperCheap deep link. If the item is a supplier preview, this may request background supplier-detail hydration and returns its current status; retry while pending until full product details are available before choosing a configuration or adding it to a cart.
```

### `catalog_get_similar_products`

- The name "catalog_get_similar_products" says "get": a word for reading.
- The server marks it as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false).
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find similar products with stable continuation across catalog and supplier sources. Use nextCursor with the same item and market for subsequent pages. A short page is not exhaustion when continuation is present. If status is pending or supplierExpansion is queued, running, or throttled, retry at retryAfter or supplierRetryAt. Supplier previews must be hydrated with catalog_get_product before choosing a configuration or adding to cart. Present only buyer-market offer prices, never supplier costs.
```

### `catalog_report_product_impressions`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Record only products that were actually presented to the shopper. Searching alone does not mark products as viewed. This idempotent impression signal is used to demote or exclude products in later searches.
```

### `catalog_search_products`

- The name "catalog_search_products" says "search": a word for reading.
- The server marks it as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false).
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search canonical products with category, attribute, price, provider, vendor, sorting, and bounded pagination filters. Attribute pairs are forwarded to supplier discovery as provider Pid/Vid filters when expansion is needed, so keep the exact attributeId/valueId returned by facets. When the shopper requests N products, set limit=N (1–48); leave it unset to use the default of 12 when no count is specified. Set compact=true when limit exceeds 24; compact changes card payload size, not card selection. The product-card UI displays every returned item and supplier preview, up to 24 cards per result. Do not fetch a larger page and then select fewer only in prose: those returned cards still appear in the UI. If the shopper wants only the existing catalog or says not to search suppliers, set expandSuppliers=false so previews are not added. When product-card UI is attached, do not claim product photos are unavailable solely because the text response lacks inline images; refer to the rendered cards. Set freshOnly=true to exclude products already opened or explicitly exposed to this shopper. Use nextCursor for stable exploration pages, or nextOffset when nextCursor is unavailable; keep using the same query and filters. If status is pending, wait until retryAfter and resume with nextCursor as cursor, or nextOffset as offset when no cursor is returned; never restart a pending search from the first page. Supplier discovery automatically runs in the background for missing, weak, or exhausted results unless expandSuppliers=false. A broad result withholds unconfirmed canonical cards and describes only the current page. Continue with nextCursor when present, otherwise nextOffset; zero supplier previews on a page does not mean the search is exhausted. If supplierExpansion is queued, running, or throttled, wait until supplierRetryAt and repeat the same search. Set waitForSupplierResults=true to have the server poll a queued supplier expansion for up to maxWaitMs before returning.
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `category_get_tree`

- The name "category_get_tree" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Return a bounded category subtree. Use rootCategoryId and maxDepth to avoid loading the entire taxonomy.
```

### `category_search`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find canonical SuperCheap categories using lexical and semantic matching.
```

### `market_list`

- The name "market_list" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find supported SuperCheap country, language, currency, and checkout availability combinations.
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `supercheap-shopping`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__supercheap-shopping__market_list",
      "mcp__supercheap-shopping__category_search",
      "mcp__supercheap-shopping__category_get_tree"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__supercheap-shopping__catalog_search_products",
      "mcp__supercheap-shopping__catalog_report_product_impressions",
      "mcp__supercheap-shopping__catalog_get_product",
      "mcp__supercheap-shopping__catalog_get_similar_products"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

Capability tags behind the rules (a read tagged outbound is asked about):

- `mcp__supercheap-shopping__catalog_search_products`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__supercheap-shopping__catalog_get_product`: untrusted-input

- **warn** Tools that change things, listed to anyone ([unauth-remote-writes](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#unauth-remote-writes))

```untrusted-server-text
The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 4 tools that change things (4 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://supercheap.market/mcp: tools/list returned 7 tools to an anonymous client, including catalog_search_products (write), catalog_report_product_impressions (write), catalog_get_product (write), catalog_get_similar_products (write)
