**5 tools: 1 do something that can't be undone, 3 change things and 1 only read.**

| Group | Class | Tools | Claude Code |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Deletes or cancels | destructive | 0 | deny |
| Can't be undone | irreversible | 1 | ask |
| Changes things | write | 3 | ask |
| Only reads | read | 1 | allow |

## 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

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

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "find_self_exclusion" says "find": a word for reading.
```


## Can't be undone (1)

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

### `find_self_exclusion`

- The name "find_self_exclusion" says "find": a word for reading.
- The description says "can't be undone".
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
How to self-exclude from gambling in a country: the official national scheme (e.g. GAMSTOP in the UK, OASIS in Germany, RGIAJ in Spain, ANJ in France, Brazil's federal platform), what it covers, its terms, and the official sign-up link. Self-exclusion is free and can't be undone during a craving. Use when someone wants to stop themselves gambling, close their betting accounts, or block licensed operators.
```

## Changes things (3)

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

### `block_gambling`

- 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.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Step-by-step plan to block gambling on an iPhone, an Android phone, or at the bank, with the layers that actually hold (system-wide DNS filtering, locked app installs, bank gambling blocks, self-exclusion) and what doesn't work. Use when someone wants to block gambling sites, apps or payments.
```

### `check_gambling_site`

- 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.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Checks web addresses against the Silex blocklist of about 294,000 gambling, betting and casino domains (the list Silex's iPhone app and free browser extension block). Sub-domains match their parent. Use when someone asks whether a site is a gambling or betting site, or whether a blocker would stop it.
```

### `gambling_self_check`

- 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.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI), a validated 9-question screener. Call without answers to get the questions and answer scale; ask the user each question, then call again with their 9 answers (0 = never, 1 = sometimes, 2 = most of the time, 3 = almost always) to get the score and band. It is a screening tool, not a diagnosis.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `find_gambling_help`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Free, confidential gambling helplines and crisis lines for a country, checked by hand by the Silex team. Use when someone wants to talk to a person about gambling, is struggling after losses, or seems in distress. Returns country-specific lines where verified, plus free online options that work anywhere, and debt-advice services for the US and UK.
```
