## Exfil surface

1680 private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound paths in this server alone. Denying 3 outbound tools breaks every one: `mcp__plato__add_discussion`, `mcp__plato__add_discussion_post`, `mcp__plato__post_qna_question`.

        Call with dry_run=True (default) first, show the preview to the user,
        and only call again with dry_run=False after they explicitly confirm.
        
```

### `add_discussion_post`

- The name "add_discussion_post" says "add": a word for a change.

```

### `add_private_file`

- The name "add_private_file" says "add": a word for a change.
- The description says "IRREVERSIBLE".
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Upload a file to this account's Moodle private files area.
        IRREVERSIBLE once dry_run=False -- no delete tool exists for
        private files yet, so this permanently adds the file until the
        user removes it via PLATO's own UI. Only works when this server
        is running locally (stdio).

        Call with dry_run=True (default) first, show the preview to the
        user, and only call again with dry_run=False after they explicitly
        confirm.
        
```

### `create_calendar_event`

- The name "create_calendar_event" says "create": a word for a change.
- The description says "IRREVERSIBLE".
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Create a personal calendar entry. IRREVERSIBLE once dry_run=False.
        Only personal ("user") events are supported -- course/group events
        are not something a student account can create.

        Call with dry_run=True (default) first, show the preview to the user,
        and only call again with dry_run=False after they explicitly confirm.
        
```

### `delete_calendar_event`

- The name "delete_calendar_event" says "delete": a word for removing or ending something.
- The description says "IRREVERSIBLE".
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Delete a personal calendar entry this account owns. IRREVERSIBLE
        once dry_run=False.

        Call with dry_run=True (default) first, show the preview to the user,
        and only call again with dry_run=False after they explicitly confirm.
        
```

### `post_qna_question`

- The name "post_qna_question" says "post": a word for a change.
- The description says "IRREVERSIBLE".
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
- Tag outbound: The name "post_qna_question" says "post": it sends or publishes something to other people.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Post a new question to a course's Q&A board. IRREVERSIBLE and VISIBLE
        to the instructor once dry_run=False (posted as private/secret by default).

        Call with dry_run=True (default) first, show the preview to the user, and
        only call again with dry_run=False after they explicitly confirm.
        
```

### `process_quiz_attempt`

- The description's first verb is "submit": a word for a change.
- The description says "IRREVERSIBLE".
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Submit answers for a quiz attempt. IRREVERSIBLE once
        dry_run=False AND finish_attempt=True -- that is the final,
        graded submission and cannot be undone. UNVERIFIED against a
        real quiz.

        Call with dry_run=True (default) first, show the preview to the
        user -- especially before finish_attempt=True -- and only call
        again with dry_run=False after they explicitly confirm.
        
```

### `remove_submission`

- The name "remove_submission" says "remove": a word for removing or ending something.
- The description says "IRREVERSIBLE".
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Withdraw/clear this account's own submission for an assignment.
        IRREVERSIBLE and DESTRUCTIVE once dry_run=False -- this discards
        already-submitted work (files/text), not a draft.

        KNOWN ISSUE: live testing found dry_run=False currently fails with
        an "invalid parameter" error from PLATO every time (the real
        required parameter shape wasn't determined -- see
        remove_submission_for's docstring). dry_run=True (preview) works
        and is safe to call. Do not rely on dry_run=False actually working
        until this is fixed.

        Call with dry_run=True (default) first, show the preview to the user,
        and only call again with dry_run=False after they explicitly confirm.
        
```

### `save_quiz_attempt_responses`

- The name "save_quiz_attempt_responses" says "save": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Save in-progress answers WITHOUT finishing the attempt -- can
        still be changed later. UNVERIFIED against a real quiz.

        Call with dry_run=True (default) first, show the preview to the
        user, and only call again with dry_run=False after they explicitly
        confirm.
        
```

### `start_quiz_attempt`

- The name "start_quiz_attempt" says "start": a word for a change.
- The description says "IRREVERSIBLE".
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Start a new attempt at a quiz. IRREVERSIBLE once dry_run=False --
        consumes one of the quiz's limited attempts. UNVERIFIED against a
        real quiz -- call get_quiz_access_information first and check
        canattempt/preventaccessreasons.

        Call with dry_run=True (default) first, show the preview to the
        user, and only call again with dry_run=False after they explicitly
        confirm.
        
```

### `submit_assignment`

- The name "submit_assignment" says "submit": a word for a change.
- The description says "IRREVERSIBLE".
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Submit text and/or file attachments for an assignment. IRREVERSIBLE once dry_run=False.

        Call with dry_run=True (default) first, show the preview to the user, and
        only call again with dry_run=False (same parameters) after they explicitly
        confirm. Provide text, file_paths/file_contents, or both -- whichever this
        assignment actually accepts (see get_assignment_detail).

        file_paths works only when this server is running locally (stdio, e.g.
        Claude Code/Desktop) -- rejected with a clear error over a remote
        (streamable-http, e.g. a Claude.ai Connector) connection, mirroring
        download_course_file's own stdio-vs-remote split. file_contents works
        over either transport and is the only option remotely, since this
        server's disk is not reachable by you there.
        
```

## Changes things (1)

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

### `download_course_file`

- 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.
- 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
Download a course file (the `fileurl` from get_course_contents).

        Running locally (stdio, e.g. Claude Code/Desktop): saves the file to
        `save_path` on this machine and returns the saved path -- `save_path`
        is required in this case.

        Running as a remote/hosted server (streamable-http, e.g. reached via
        a Claude.ai web/mobile Connector): this server's own disk is not
        reachable by you, so do NOT pass `save_path` -- it will be rejected.
        Instead the file is fetched here and returned inline as base64
        content for you to decode and present, unless it's too large, in
        which case a direct authenticated download URL is returned instead
        (that URL embeds a live PLATO access token: do not share it or a
        chat transcript containing it).

        Only common course-material extensions are allowed (pdf, office
        docs, images, zip, txt); local downloads over the configured size
        limit are rejected.
        
```

## Only reads (55)

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

### `get_activity_completion_status`

- The name "get_activity_completion_status" says "get": a word for reading.
- 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
Get this account's completion status for every activity/module in
        a course -- richer than get_course_contents's per-module `completed`
        flag (includes tracking rules, e.g. 'must view' vs 'must spend N
        minutes'). For `vod` (video lecture) modules specifically, prefer
        get_course_contents, whose per-module `vod_progress` field also
        includes watch-percentage and deadline info this function doesn't
        return.
```

### `get_assignment_detail`

- The name "get_assignment_detail" says "get": a word for reading.
- 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
Get one assignment's details and this account's submission status.
```

### `get_calendar_access_info`

- The name "get_calendar_access_info" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The name "get_calendar_access_info" says "get" and "calendar": it reads calendars. The description's first sentence says "calendar": it reads calendars.
- 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
Check this account's calendar-management permissions -- a
        student account can typically manage its own personal entries
        only, not course/group entries.
```

### `get_course_completion_status`

- The name "get_course_completion_status" says "get": a word for reading.
- 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
Get this account's overall course-completion status, if the course
        has course-level completion criteria configured. Most courses on
        this platform don't (available=False, with a message explaining
        why) -- try get_activity_completion_status for per-activity
        progress instead, or get_course_contents's per-module `completed`
        flag.
```

### `get_course_contents`

- The name "get_course_contents" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "get" and "file": it reads files.
- 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
Get a course's weekly sections, modules, and file links.
```

### `get_course_module`

- The name "get_course_module" says "get": a word for reading.
- 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
Resolve a single course module by its id directly, without
        fetching and filtering the whole course's contents.
```

### `get_course_updates_since`

- The name "get_course_updates_since" says "get": a word for reading.
- 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
Get what changed in a course since a given time -- configuration,
        completion, grades, submissions, etc. Only reports modules that
        implement Moodle's change-tracking (confirmed: the standard `assign`
        module does; this platform's own custom lecture-file/board/video
        modules do not, so this won't catch a new ubfile lecture or ubboard
        post -- use get_course_contents/list_notices to check those instead.
```

### `get_courses_by_timeline`

- The name "get_courses_by_timeline" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:
