## 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__govbid__get_opportunity_detail` |
| 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 (1)

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

### `register_agent`

- 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
Register this agent with the GovBid Global API and receive an API key. Call this once if you don't already have an api_key, before calling search_opportunities. No human interaction (e.g. CAPTCHA) is required — this endpoint is designed for autonomous AI agent self-registration. The returned api_key is shown only once, so store it for reuse.
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `get_api_info`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get metadata about the GovBid Global API including version, data source, license information, and usage guidelines. Call this first to understand the service before making other tool calls.
```

### `get_opportunity_detail`

- The name "get_opportunity_detail" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "get" and "url": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get the direct SAM.gov URL for a specific contract opportunity by its notice ID. Use this to provide users with a link to verify and view full details on SAM.gov.
```

### `search_opportunities`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search U.S. federal government contract opportunities from SAM.gov. Returns recent procurement notices with title, department, deadline, and source URL. Data is updated daily. License: Public Domain (SAM.gov). Requires an api_key — call register_agent first if you don't have one.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__govbid__search_opportunities",
      "mcp__govbid__get_opportunity_detail",
      "mcp__govbid__get_api_info"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__govbid__register_agent"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__govbid__get_opportunity_detail`: untrusted-input

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-22T15:00:22.727Z, unchanged since 2026-10-22T15:00:22.727Z. 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 | `1` |
| 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` |

- **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 1 tool that changes things (1 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://govbid-mcp-server.gaikotsuimageprocessing.workers.dev/mcp: tools/list returned 4 tools to an anonymous client, including register_agent (write)
