## Exfil surface

No private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data or untrusted-input 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. | none |
| 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 (2)

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

### `pick_one`

- 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
Which one should I pick? Hand-researched verdicts on the top three of a Top 11 list, with a named winner per buyer type, a side-by-side table and the vendor URL behind every price (prices read on each vendor's own site). Call with no slug to get every verdict; pass a list slug (e.g. 'tms-for-freight-brokers') or a compare slug (e.g. 'quickbooks-vs-xero-vs-freshbooks') for the full comparison.
```

### `recommend`

- 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
Hand over a user's situation and get the best-matched picks from a Top 11 list. Describe the problem in plain language (e.g. 'startup that needs to get fundraise-ready' or 'reduce no-shows for a dental practice'); optionally add a persona/segment, a budget band ($, $$, $$$), and a max_risk ceiling to exclude firms with higher verified public risk signals. No slug needed. Top 11 auto-picks the most relevant list. Returns the top matches with the reason each was chosen and each pick's risk level.
```

### `cheapest`

- The description's first verb is "return": a word for reading.
