## Exfil surface

No private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data.

| 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__penny-engine__penny_catalog_import_guard` `mcp__penny-engine__penny_product_evidence` `mcp__penny-engine__penny_trend_radar` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | `mcp__penny-engine__penny_product_evidence` |

## Findings

- **warn** Annotations that disagree with the tool in `penny_url_clean` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "penny_url_clean" read-only (readOnlyHint: true), and its own name, description or input give the class "destructive".

```untrusted-server-text
The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 13 tools that change things (1 destructive, 12 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://penny-agent-api-production.up.railway.app/mcp: tools/list returned 18 tools to an anonymous client, including penny_url_clean (destructive), penny_margin (write), penny_cleaning_quote (write), penny_marketplace_profit (write), penny_campaign_economics (write) and 8 more
