## 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 `round_nutrition_label` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

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

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "round_nutrition_label" says "label": a word for a change.
```


## Changes things (3)

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

### `calculate_recipe_nutrition`

- 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
Parses ingredient lines ("2 cups flour", "1 stick butter" as 8 tbsp, "3 large eggs", "1 lb ground beef"), converts cups, spoons and counted items to grams with USDA household measure weights for that specific food, and sums USDA FoodData Central nutrients. Returns per-line grams and matches, recipe totals, per-serving values, and the per-serving values rounded by the FDA Nutrition Facts rules (21 CFR 101.9) with percent Daily Value. Lines it cannot match are listed, never guessed.
```

### `round_nutrition_label`

- The name "round_nutrition_label" says "label": a word for a change.
- 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
Applies the FDA Nutrition Facts rounding rules from 21 CFR 101.9(c) to unrounded per-serving values: calories (under 5 = 0, nearest 5 up to 50, nearest 10 above), fat and saturated fat (nearest 0.5 g under 5 g), sodium (nearest 5 mg up to 140 mg, nearest 10 above), carbohydrate, fiber, sugars, added sugars and protein (nearest gram, "less than 1g" rules). Adds percent Daily Value from the 2,000-calorie DRVs (fat 78 g, saturated fat 20 g, sodium 2,300 mg, carbohydrate 275 g, fiber 28 g, added sugars 50 g). Rules copied from the eCFR text.
```

### `scale_recipe_nutrition`

- 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
Scales ingredient lines by a factor or from original to target servings (parses mixed numbers and fraction characters), then recomputes total and per-serving nutrition with USDA FoodData Central values and FDA label rounding for the scaled recipe.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `lookup_ingredient_nutrition`

- The name "lookup_ingredient_nutrition" says "lookup": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Returns USDA FoodData Central nutrient values per 100 g (calories, protein, total fat, saturated fat, carbohydrate, fiber, total sugars, sodium) for a common recipe ingredient, with its FDC id, the USDA household measures (1 cup, 1 tbsp, 1 large, 1 clove) in grams, and optionally the nutrients for an amount such as 1.5 cup or 3 large. 406 ingredients from SR Legacy and Foundation Foods, embedded, no API key. Use it instead of estimating nutrition from memory.
```
