## 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

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (2)

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

### `index_stats`

- 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
Graph coverage stats: counts of registry entries, merchants, offerings, capabilities.
```

### `verify_capability`

- 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
Verify a merchant capability with evidence, e.g. age_gate_21 or ships_to_US-FL.
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `find_best_merchant`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text

    Rank merchants that can actually fulfill a purchase need, by honest signals only.

    Args:
        category: product category, e.g. "vodka".
        ship_to: ISO region the order must ship to, e.g. "US-FL".
        require_age_gate: only return merchants that enforce 21+.
        limit: max results.
        optimize_for: what matters to the BUYER -- "trust" (default), "price"
            (lowest matched price), or "speed" (same-day, then next-day
            fulfillment). Ties always break by earned trust.
        product_type/dest_state/channel: pass all three (e.g. "spirits", "FL",
            "ship"|"local_delivery") for STRICT COMPLIANCE mode -- only merchants
            with attested age-gate + attested license + a legal jurisdiction
            path are returned, each with its compliance verdict.
    Every result carries ships_to states (match them against where the buyer
    lives), best_price, and the evidence behind the record. Paid placement never
    affects any ranking (ranking_basis states the basis actually used).
    
```

### `get_merchant_view`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Full agent view of one merchant: record + offerings + capabilities + evidence.
```

### `search_offerings`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find offerings (products) matching a category, joined to merchant + capabilities.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__beacon__find_best_merchant",
      "mcp__beacon__search_offerings",
      "mcp__beacon__get_merchant_view"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__beacon__verify_capability",
      "mcp__beacon__index_stats"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-22T15:04:23.795Z, unchanged since 2026-10-22T15:04:23.795Z. No credentials were sent and no tool was called. Values are shown as the endpoint returned them. Method: https://anlyon.dev/methodology#remote-posture

| Fact | Observed |
| --- | --- |
| Reachable | `yes` |
| HTTP status of an anonymous initialize | `200` |
| tools/list served without credentials | `yes` |
| Tools that change things, listed without credentials | `2` |
| Protocol version | `2025-06-18` |
| WWW-Authenticate on 401 | `not observed` |

| Dynamic client registration | `not observed` |
| Client ID metadata documents | `not observed` |

- **warn** Tools that change things, listed to anyone ([unauth-remote-writes](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#unauth-remote-writes))

```untrusted-server-text
The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 2 tools that change things (2 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://beacon-index.onrender.com/mcp: tools/list returned 5 tools to an anonymous client, including verify_capability (write), index_stats (write)
