With Anlyon

1 tool here can delete or cancel things. Govern it.

Anlyon lists the tools and adopts none.
Each tool you adopt gets approvals and receipts.
Your agent never holds the key.

A tool your agent calls directly is not routed through Anlyon and is not governed by it. anlyon.dev only lists and labels, and these labels are the same either way.

What the Zovo Secret Santa MCP server can do

The Zovo Secret Santa MCP server is published by the GitHub account theluckystrike. It has 3 tools. It can delete or cancel things (1 tool: redraw_secret_santa) and create or change data (1 tool: create_secret_santa). 1 tool only reads.

1 tool reads private data (show_secret_santa_status); 2 tools bring in text other people can write (create_secret_santa and redraw_secret_santa).

None of the fixed checks matched anything in its tool definitions. That is not a safety guarantee.

Its remote endpoint lists its tools without sign-in.

Last scanned Nov 8, 2026, version 1.0.0.

Tools

Grouped by what each tool does, most consequential first. Open one for its reasons and full description; descriptions are the publisher's own words.

3 tools

Deletes or cancels 1Removes, cancels or revokes something.Claude Code: deny

redraw_secret_santaUse this when the organizer wants a new random draw for an existing Secret Santa, for example because they saw an assignment by mistake.Reads text others writeNo findings
Why it is in this group
- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
What it can reach
- untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
Description, as the server wrote it
Use this when the organizer wants a new random draw for an existing Secret Santa, for example because they saw an assignment by mistake. Takes the organizer link. Works only while nobody has opened a private link; it replaces the old draw with the same rules, keeps the same private links and keeps wishlists. Does not add or remove people (make a new Secret Santa for that).

create_secret_santaUse this when the user wants to draw names for a Secret Santa or holiday gift exchange and give each person a private link.Reads text others writeNo findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "create_secret_santa" says "create": a word for a change.
What it can reach
- untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
Description, as the server wrote it
Use this when the user wants to draw names for a Secret Santa or holiday gift exchange and give each person a private link. Takes 3 to 60 names, optional couples or households who must not draw each other, one-way exclusions (for example last year's match), a budget, an exchange date and a note. Publishes a hosted page: each private link shows one person whom they buy for, the budget, the date and the match's wishlist, and each person can add their own wishlist. Returns one private link per person and an organizer link; the draw itself is not returned. Explains why when no draw is possible. Does not send emails or texts. Do not use for White Elephant games or for picking one winner.

Description, as the server wrote it
Use this when the organizer asks who has opened their Secret Santa link, who added a wishlist, or wants the private links again. Takes the organizer link (it contains /m/). Returns each person's link, whether and when it was first opened, and whether they added a wishlist. Does not return who buys for whom. Does not change anything. Does not work with a person's private link.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

Exfil surface

Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.

No private-data, untrusted-input, outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged outbound.

Reads private data1: Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.; show_secret_santa_status
Reads text others write2: Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.; create_secret_santa
redraw_secret_santa
Can send data out0: Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.

Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.

Remote posture

What anyone on the internet sees at the remote endpoint: an anonymous initialize and tools/list, and the public OAuth metadata.

HighThe whole server
The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 2 tools that change things (1 destructive, 1 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.
Matched text
https://secret-santa.zovo.one/mcp: tools/list returned 3 tools to an anonymous client, including redraw_secret_santa (destructive), create_secret_santa (write)
What this check looks for

Findings

Matches of fixed checks, with the text they matched.

No check matched anything in these tool definitions. That is not a safety guarantee.

History

Changes to its tool definitions and to its remote endpoint, newest first.

No change seen yet. Its tools are rescanned every day, and a remote endpoint is looked at once a week.

All changes to this server

Install

Pinned to version 1.0.0. Values in angle brackets are yours to fill in.

claude mcp add --transport http secret-santa https://secret-santa.zovo.one/mcp

claude mcp add --transport http secret-santa https://secret-santa.zovo.one/mcp

Run in a terminal.

Claude Code permissions

Allow the reads, ask before a change or a way out, deny the deletes. Paste into .claude/settings.json.

.claude/settings.json

{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__secret-santa__show_secret_santa_status"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__secret-santa__create_secret_santa"
    ],
    "deny": [
      "mcp__secret-santa__redraw_secret_santa"
    ]
  }
}

Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. A read that can send data out (it takes a URL, say) asks first too. It assumes the server is installed as secret-santa. Review it before you use it.
