## 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__linkpreflight__preflight` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | `mcp__linkpreflight__preflight` |

## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `preflight`

- 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.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Check a URL before you click, cite, or fetch it. Returns HTTP status, redirect chain and final URL, dead/parked-domain detection, content-type and size, whether /llms.txt exists, and phishing/abuse flags from public feeds plus heuristics. One call, no page content extraction. Free: 200 checks/day.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__linkpreflight__preflight"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__linkpreflight__preflight`: untrusted-input, outbound
