## Exfil surface

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

| 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. | `mcp__paycrow__safe_pay` `mcp__paycrow__x402_protected_call` |

## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Can't be undone (1)

Sends, pays, publishes or merges: once done, it cannot be taken back. Claude Code: ask.

### `safe_pay`

- The name "safe_pay" says "pay": a word that usually means money moves, which cannot be taken back.
- 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
The smart way to pay an agent. Checks their trust score first, then auto-configures escrow protection based on risk.

Flow: Check trust → Set protection level → Create escrow → Call API → Verify → Auto-release or auto-dispute.

Protection levels (automatic):
- High trust agent → 15min timelock, proceed normally
- Moderate trust → 60min timelock, payment capped at $25
- Low trust → 4hr timelock, payment capped at $5
- Unknown/caution → BLOCKED — will not send funds

This is the recommended tool for paying any agent. If you need manual control, use x402_protected_call instead.
```

## Changes things (7)

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

### `escrow_create`

- The name "escrow_create" says "create": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Create a USDC escrow with built-in dispute resolution. Funds are locked on-chain until delivery is confirmed (release) or a problem is flagged (dispute). If disputed, an arbiter reviews and rules — the only escrow service with real dispute resolution on Base.
```

### `escrow_dispute`

- 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
Flag a problem with delivery — PayCrow's key differentiator. Locks escrowed funds and triggers arbiter review. Unlike other escrow services that say 'no disputes, no chargebacks', PayCrow has real on-chain dispute resolution. Use when service was not delivered or quality was unacceptable.
```

### `escrow_release`

- 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
Confirm delivery and release escrowed USDC to the seller. Only call this when you've verified the service/product was delivered correctly.
```

### `rate_service`

- 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
Rate a completed escrow. After escrow_release, rate the seller's service quality (1-5 stars).

This builds the reputation data that makes PayCrow's trust scores meaningful over time.
Both sides can rate: buyer rates seller's service quality, seller rates buyer's conduct.

Ratings are on-chain and permanent — they feed directly into trust scoring.
```

### `trust_gate`

- 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
Should you pay this agent? Check before sending money. Returns a go/no-go decision with recommended escrow protection parameters.

Unlike other trust services, PayCrow ties trust directly to escrow protection:
- High trust → shorter timelock, proceed with confidence
- Low trust → longer timelock, smaller amounts recommended
- Caution → don't proceed, or use maximum protection

This is the tool to call BEFORE escrow_create or safe_pay.
```

### `trust_onchain_quick`

- 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
Quick on-chain reputation check using only the PayCrow Reputation contract. Free, no API keys needed. Use trust_score_query for the full composite score.
```

### `x402_protected_call`

- The name "x402_protected_call" says "call": a word for a change.
- 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
Make an HTTP API call with manual escrow protection. Full control over verification and timelock parameters.

For most payments, use safe_pay instead — it auto-configures protection based on seller trust.

Use x402_protected_call when you need:
- Custom JSON Schema verification (not just "valid JSON + 2xx")
- Hash-lock verification (exact response match)
- Specific timelock durations
- To override safe_pay's trust-based amount limits
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `escrow_status`

- The name "escrow_status" says "status": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Check the current state of an escrow (funded, released, disputed, expired, etc.)
```

### `trust_score_query`

- The name "trust_score_query" says "query": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Full trust score breakdown for an agent address. Aggregates 4 on-chain sources: PayCrow escrow history, ERC-8004 agent identity, Moltbook social karma, and Base chain activity. Returns 0-100 score with per-source details. For a quick go/no-go decision, use trust_gate instead.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__paycrow__trust_score_query",
      "mcp__paycrow__escrow_status"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__paycrow__trust_gate",
      "mcp__paycrow__trust_onchain_quick",
      "mcp__paycrow__escrow_create",
      "mcp__paycrow__escrow_release",
      "mcp__paycrow__escrow_dispute",
      "mcp__paycrow__rate_service",
      "mcp__paycrow__safe_pay",
      "mcp__paycrow__x402_protected_call"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__paycrow__safe_pay`: outbound
- `mcp__paycrow__x402_protected_call`: outbound

```untrusted-server-text
The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 8 tools that change things (1 irreversible, 7 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://paycrow-app.fly.dev/mcp: tools/list returned 10 tools to an anonymous client, including safe_pay (irreversible), trust_gate (write), trust_onchain_quick (write), escrow_create (write), escrow_release (write) and 3 more
