## Exfil surface

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

| Tag | Meaning | Tools |
| --- | --- | --- |
| private-data | Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories. | `mcp__node-opcua-modeler__get_dsl_reference` |
| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | `mcp__node-opcua-modeler__get_dsl_reference` `mcp__node-opcua-modeler__opcua_model_create` `mcp__node-opcua-modeler__opcua_model_generate` `mcp__node-opcua-modeler__opcua_model_reverse` `mcp__node-opcua-modeler__opcua_model_validate` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | none |

## Findings

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":true}; The name "opcua_model_generate" says "generate": a word for a change.
```

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"openWorldHint":true}; The name "opcua_model_create" says "create": a word for a change.
```


## Changes things (3)

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

### `opcua_model_create`

- The name "opcua_model_create" says "create": a word for a change.
- 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.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Generate an OPC UA YAML model from a natural language description using AI. Requires an API key (set OPCUA_MODELER_API_KEY env var). The AI will auto-detect relevant companion specs, generate a validated model with documentation, and auto-correct validation errors.
```

### `opcua_model_generate`

- The name "opcua_model_generate" says "generate": a word for a change.
- 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.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Generate OPC UA NodeSet2.xml and the symbols CSV from a YAML model. Requires an API key (set OPCUA_MODELER_API_KEY env var). NodeIds stay stable only if each regeneration passes back the symbols of the previous one: pass symbols_csv, or mode "new" for a first generation, or mode "renumber" to change ids on purpose. A call with none of these is refused with SYMBOLS_DECISION_REQUIRED. Returns base64-encoded artifacts if the model is valid. The result lists symbol counts (reused/new/dropped), hints and next steps.
```

### `opcua_model_reverse`

- 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.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Reverse-engineer a NodeSet2.xml file back into the YAML DSL format. Requires an API key (set OPCUA_MODELER_API_KEY env var). Optionally specify the target namespace URI to extract.
```

## Only reads (9)

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

### `find_engineering_unit`

- The name "find_engineering_unit" says "find": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find the official UNECE Rec. 20 engineering unit symbol for a given description. ALWAYS call this before using any engineering unit — NEVER guess unit symbols.
```

### `find_reusable_block`

- The name "find_reusable_block" says "find": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find reusable Interfaces / AddIns by capability — pass a member name or keyword (e.g. "SerialNumber", "DeviceHealth", "Location") and get the standard blocks that already expose it. PREFER applying/composing an existing block over redefining its members inline. Interfaces are applied with `interfaces:`; addins (types with a DefaultInstanceBrowseName) are composed with `addIns:`. A single property → use the Interface; a whole named sub-object → use the AddIn.
```

### `get_dsl_reference`

- The name "get_dsl_reference" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "get" and "file": it reads files.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get the grammar reference for the OPC UA modeler YAML DSL: file header, top-level sections, name-prefix conventions, minimal examples, and common mistakes. Call this FIRST before writing any YAML model by hand. Works without an API key.
```

### `get_type_details`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get detailed information about a specific type: its components, properties, methods, interfaces, and optional members. Use this to understand a type's structure before creating instances or subtypes. `specRef`, on the type and on a member, is the link to the section of the specification that defines it: cite it.
```

### `list_namespaces`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List all well-known OPC UA companion spec namespace aliases with their full names, URIs, and dependencies. Use this to discover what namespaces are available.
```

### `list_types`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List ALL ObjectTypes, VariableTypes, and InterfaceTypes defined in a specific companion spec namespace. ALWAYS call this before using any type from a namespace — NEVER guess type names.
```

### `opcua_model_validate`

- The name "opcua_model_validate" says "validate": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Validate an OPC UA YAML model for correctness. Returns diagnostics with severity (error/warning/info), codes, messages, and line numbers. Works without an API key (limited to 50 calls/day). ALWAYS validate before generating.
```

### `resolve_dependencies`

- The name "resolve_dependencies" says "resolve": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Given one or more companion spec namespace aliases, returns the full resolved dependency list that MUST go in the YAML `namespaces:` section. Always call this before generating the namespaces block.
```

### `search_types`

- The name "search_types" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search for types across ALL companion specs by keyword. Use this when you don't know which namespace defines a type. Returns matching types with their namespace alias.
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `node-opcua-modeler`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__node-opcua-modeler__resolve_dependencies",
      "mcp__node-opcua-modeler__list_namespaces",
      "mcp__node-opcua-modeler__list_types",
      "mcp__node-opcua-modeler__get_type_details",
      "mcp__node-opcua-modeler__search_types",

      "mcp__node-opcua-modeler__opcua_model_create"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__node-opcua-modeler__get_dsl_reference`: private-data, untrusted-input
- `mcp__node-opcua-modeler__opcua_model_validate`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__node-opcua-modeler__opcua_model_generate`: untrusted-input
