**8 tools: 3 can delete or cancel things, 4 change things and 1 only read.**

| Group | Class | Tools | Claude Code |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Deletes or cancels | destructive | 3 | deny |
| Can't be undone | irreversible | 0 | ask |
| Changes things | write | 4 | ask |

## 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__apipay__get_vault_link` |
| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | `mcp__apipay__call_api` `mcp__apipay__search_apis` `mcp__apipay__secret_generate` `mcp__apipay__secret_transfer` `mcp__apipay__vendor_call` |
| 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 `get_vault_link` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

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

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

- **info** The word "credentials" in `vendor_call` ([credentials-mention](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#credentials-mention))

```untrusted-server-text
The description mentions "credential".

description: "...nsqueezy) with the owner's vaulted root credential injected server-side. Native request/re..."
```

- **warn** Mentions of other tools or servers in `secret_transfer` ([tool-shadowing](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#tool-shadowing))

```untrusted-server-text
The description contains "another SERVER", wording about other tools or servers.

description: "Move a secret from one vendor to another SERVER-SIDE — the value never enters this conv..."
```


## Deletes or cancels (3)

Removes, cancels or revokes something. Claude Code: deny.

### `secret_generate`

- The name "secret_generate" says "generate": a word for a change.
- The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
- 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
Generate a random secret and place it directly at a vendor resource SERVER-SIDE — the value never enters this conversation.
```

### `secret_transfer`

- The name "secret_transfer" says "transfer": a word for a change that another call does not undo.
- The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Findings: warn tool-shadowing

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Move a secret from one vendor to another SERVER-SIDE — the value never enters this conversation. Example: fetch a Supabase service_role key and place it as a Vercel env var.
```

### `topup`

- The name "topup" says "topup": a word that usually means money moves, which cannot be taken back.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Top up the apifare balance from the owner's standing auto-refill mandate (if the owner enabled one). Charges within the owner's configured limits and returns the new balance. Without a mandate, returns payment instructions to relay to the user.
```

## Changes things (4)

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

### `call_api`

- The name "call_api" says "call": a word for a change.
- 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
Call an API from the apifare catalog by slug (find slugs with search_apis). The cost in prepaid credits is deducted automatically and returned with the result.
```

### `check_balance`

- 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
Check the remaining apifare prepaid credit balance (1 credit = $0.01) and get the top-up link.
```

### `get_vault_link`

- The name "get_vault_link" says "get": a word for reading.
- The server marks it as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false).
- Tag private-data: The name "get_vault_link" says "get" and "vault": it reads secrets.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get a secure one-time link where the user can save their OWN API key for a provider (BYOK). Never ask the user to paste an API key into the chat — always use this link instead. BYOK calls cost a flat 0.1 credits; the user's own provider account pays the provider.
```

### `vendor_call`

- The name "vendor_call" says "call": a word for a change.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Call a vendor MANAGEMENT API (supabase, vercel, fly, resend, github, npm, cloudflare, lemonsqueezy) with the owner's vaulted root credential injected server-side. Native request/response; destructive, billing, and member/admin routes are blocked. The root token is never visible.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `search_apis`

- The name "search_apis" says "search": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The description's first sentence says "search" and "web": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search the apifare catalog of ready-to-call APIs (web search, scraping, weather, and more). Returns each API's slug, params, and per-call price in prepaid credits. Every miss is logged so missing APIs get added.
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `apipay`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__apipay__search_apis"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__apipay__call_api",
      "mcp__apipay__get_vault_link",
      "mcp__apipay__check_balance",
      "mcp__apipay__vendor_call"
    ],
    "deny": [
      "mcp__apipay__topup",
      "mcp__apipay__secret_transfer",
      "mcp__apipay__secret_generate"
    ]
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__apipay__search_apis`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__apipay__call_api`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__apipay__get_vault_link`: private-data
- `mcp__apipay__vendor_call`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__apipay__secret_transfer`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__apipay__secret_generate`: untrusted-input

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-22T15:00:16.882Z, unchanged since 2026-10-22T15:00:16.882Z. No credentials were sent and no tool was called. Values are shown as the endpoint returned them. Method: https://anlyon.dev/methodology#remote-posture

| Fact | Observed |
| --- | --- |
| Reachable | `yes` |
| HTTP status of an anonymous initialize | `200` |
| tools/list served without credentials | `yes` |
| Tools that change things, listed without credentials | `7` |
| Protocol version | `2025-06-18` |
| WWW-Authenticate on 401 | `not observed` |
| resource_metadata in WWW-Authenticate | `none` |
| RFC 9728 protected resource metadata | `none` |
| Authorization servers | `none` |
| Legacy HTTP+SSE transport | `no` |
| Dynamic client registration | `not observed` |
| Client ID metadata documents | `not observed` |

- **high** 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 7 tools that change things (3 destructive, 4 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://apifare.com/mcp: tools/list returned 8 tools to an anonymous client, including topup (destructive), secret_transfer (destructive), secret_generate (destructive), call_api (write), get_vault_link (write) and 2 more
