## 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 (4)

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

### `check_spend`

- 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
Pre-spend budget approval check. Verifies daily/weekly/category limits, estimates ROI from historical data, and suggests cheaper alternatives. Call this BEFORE paying for any service.
```

### `health`

- 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
Check Harvey Budget server status, uptime, and payment network configuration.
```

### `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 an agent with daily and weekly budget limits. Free tool - call this before using check_spend or report_spend. Upserts if agent already exists.
```

### `report_spend`

- 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
Record a completed spend with optional outcome tracking. Call this AFTER paying for a service to track spending and build ROI history.
```

## Only reads (2)

### `get_spending_report`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Detailed spending analytics report. Returns total spent, category breakdown, top services with ROI, and optimization recommendations. Use to understand spending patterns and find inefficiencies.
```

### `list_tools`

- The name "list_tools" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List all available Harvey Budget tools with pricing and input requirements. Use this for discovery.
```

- **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 4 tools that change things (4 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://budget.rugslayer.com/mcp: tools/list returned 6 tools to an anonymous client, including health (write), register_agent (write), check_spend (write), report_spend (write)
