## Exfil surface

No private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data 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. | `mcp__offense__offense_audit_dependencies` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | none |

## Findings

- **info** The word "credentials" in `offense.audit_dependencies` ([credentials-mention](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#credentials-mention))

```untrusted-server-text
The input schema at properties.files.description mentions "credentials".

inputSchema.properties.files.description: "...t read local paths. Do not send source, credentials or registry URLs."
```


## Changes things (1)

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

### `offense.audit_dependencies`

- 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.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use Purple to audit sanitized npm/pnpm dependency metadata for known advisory matches and checked upgrade paths. Resume deferred targets with remediation.planning.next while retaining the full scan and coordinating plans across pages. Does not read source, run tests, edit files, confirm exploitability or use a model key.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

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

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

- `mcp__offense__offense_audit_dependencies`: untrusted-input
