## 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 (5)

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

### `calculate_sample_size`

- 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
Exact sample size per variant for an A/B test on a conversion rate (two independent proportions): baseline rate, minimum detectable effect (relative or absolute), alpha, power, one or two-sided, several variants with optional Bonferroni, and unequal allocation. Uses the pooled/unpooled normal formula (same as R power.prop.test) and also reports the figure Evan Miller's calculator gives, so the two can be reconciled.
```

### `check_peeking_risk`

- 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
What peeking does to an A/B test: the real false positive rate if you check a fixed-horizon test K times and stop at the first p < alpha (for example about 14% at 5 looks with alpha 0.05), and the Pocock and O'Brien-Fleming group sequential boundaries (z and nominal p per look) that keep the overall rate at alpha, for up to 10 equally spaced looks.
```

### `estimate_test_duration`

- 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
How many days an A/B test must run: from a known sample size per variant, or from baseline rate and MDE (computed as in calculate_sample_size), plus daily visitors and the share of traffic in the test. Returns exact days and the recommended whole weeks (to cover weekday effects).
```

### `fisher_exact_test`

- 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
Exact p-value for a contingency table of counts. 2x2: Fisher exact test (two-sided, greater or less, as R fisher.test). Larger r x c tables (for example 3 variants x converted/not, or 4 x 4 survey tables): Fisher-Freeman-Halton exact test by a network algorithm. Also returns Pearson chi-square and how many cells have expected counts below 5, so you can see when the chi-square approximation is unsafe.
```

### `test_ab_significance`

- 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
Is an A/B test result statistically significant? From visitors and conversions per group: two-proportion z-test (pooled), one or two-sided p-value, Wald confidence interval for the difference, relative lift, Pearson chi-square with and without Yates correction (R prop.test), Fisher exact p for the same 2x2 table, and a sample ratio mismatch (SRM) check against the planned split.
```
