## 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.

### `ask_va_benefits_question`

- 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
Answer a general VA disability benefits or claims question from Valor AI's reviewed knowledge base, with official VA sources. Read-only. Never send personal records.
```

### `estimate_combined_rating`

- 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
Combine individual VA disability ratings using the official VA math (38 CFR 4.25, bilateral factor 4.26) and show each step.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `bdd_separation_checklist`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Return the Benefits Delivery at Discharge (BDD) prep checklist and where the service member is relative to the 180 to 90 day window.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__valor__bdd_separation_checklist"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__valor__ask_va_benefits_question",
      "mcp__valor__estimate_combined_rating"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-22T15:00:50.949Z, unchanged since 2026-10-22T15:00:50.949Z. 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 |

| HTTP status of an anonymous initialize | `200` |
| tools/list served without credentials | `yes` |
| Tools that change things, listed without credentials | `2` |

- **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 2 tools that change things (2 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://www.tryvalor.ai/mcp/public: tools/list returned 3 tools to an anonymous client, including ask_va_benefits_question (write), estimate_combined_rating (write)
