Anlyon alternative
1 of these tools change something. Run those as governed actions.
Declare what an action changes, and Anlyon puts it under a shared limit, binds every approval to the exact request, and grades the outcome. It works on any HTTPS API you can describe as an action.
Anlyon does not run, proxy or govern this MCP server. A tool your own code calls directly is not routed through Anlyon and is not governed by it.

Changes things 1Claude Code: ask
score_fitHow closely each choice on the voter's ballot fits the priorities the voter stated, from 0 to 100.No findings
Why it is in this group
- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
Description, as the server wrote it How closely each choice on the voter's ballot fits the priorities the voter stated, from 0 to 100. Plain arithmetic, the same as plainballot.com: issues where a choice has no sourced position are left out, never guessed. Only use priorities the voter actually gave you.
Only reads 2Show 2 read-only tools
get_ballotEvery researched race on the ballot for a U.S.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "get_ballot" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Every researched race on the ballot for a U.S. street address, with each choice's position on the issues that office decides, the exact quote, and the source URL.
list_issuesThe 18 issues Plain Ballot tracks.Reads text others writeNo findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "list_issues" says "list": a word for reading.
What it can reach
- untrusted-inputThe name "list_issues" says "list" and "issue": it reads issues, which other people can write.
- untrusted-inputThe description's first sentence says "issue": it reads issues, which other people can write.
Description, as the server wrote it The 18 issues Plain Ballot tracks. Each has two sides, each worded the way its own supporters would say it. Use the short side labels ("l" and "r") when giving priorities to score_fit.
This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
Exfil surface
Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.
No private-data, untrusted-input, outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data or outbound.
- Reads private data0
- Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
- Reads text others write1
- Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
- Can send data out0
- Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.
Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.
Remote posture
What anyone on the internet sees at the remote endpoint: an anonymous initialize and tools/list, and the public OAuth metadata.

- WarnThe whole server
The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 1 tool that changes things (1 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.
What this check looks forMatched text
https://plainballot.com/mcp: tools/list returned 3 tools to an anonymous client, including score_fit (write)
Findings
Matches of fixed checks, with the text they matched.
No check matched anything in these tool definitions. That is not a safety guarantee.
History
Changes to its tool definitions and to its remote endpoint, newest first.
No change seen yet. Its tools are rescanned every day, and a remote endpoint is looked at once a week.

Claude Code permissions
Allow the reads, ask before a change or a way out, deny the deletes. Paste into .claude/settings.json.

"permissions": {
"allow": [

"mcp__plain-ballot__get_ballot"
],
"ask": [

],
"deny": []
}
}Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. A read that can send data out (it takes a URL, say) asks first too. It assumes the server is installed as plain-ballot. Review it before you use it.

Pin
Keep the decision: fail CI when the tools change, follow every change, or show a badge.
Pin in CI
Fail a build when the tools you reviewed are not the tools the server serves today.
