Claude Code: deny. ### `zip_delete_upload` - The name "zip_delete_upload" says "delete": a word for removing or ending something. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Delete one uploaded file stored for your token. The register rows zip_history lists are kept. ``` ## Can't be undone (1) Sends, pays, publishes or merges: once done, it cannot be taken back. Claude Code: ask. ### `zip_upload` - The name "zip_upload" says "upload": a word for a change. - The description's first verb is "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Send a file to this hosted endpoint. There is no filesystem here, so instead of a path you upload the file once with zip_upload and then pass its name wherever a path is asked for: an archive to zip_list, zip_extract, zip_extract_text or zip_add, a plain file to zip_create. Give exactly one of content_base64 (the file's bytes, the only paste form an archive can take), content (text, for a text file to pack) or url. url: fetch a public file instead of pasting base64 (recommended above about 10 KB): the url is fetched here with a 10 second timeout, at most 3 redirects, public http(s) hosts only, and a 1 MB cap, and a name ending .zip is checked for the PK magic before anything is stored. Uploads are kept for your token between calls; zip_files lists them and zip_delete_upload removes one. The request body cap is 256 KB, so the practical ceiling on a paste is about 190 KB of file once it is base64 inside a JSON-RPC envelope. ``` ## Changes things (8) Creates or changes something that can be changed back. Claude Code: ask. ### `license_activate` - 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 Turn Pro on for this connection with key, an MCPL1.. issued at checkout for this server or the bundle. Data under your token stays; a wrong or expired key changes nothing. license_status confirms it. ``` ### `zip_add` - The name "zip_add" says "add": a word for a change. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Call this tool to add files to an existing archive under their own names, or under prefix. A name clash is refused unless replace. An archive holding unsafe entries is refused rather than rewritten. ``` ### `zip_bundle_month` - 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 Local (stdio) install only. On this hosted endpoint /mcp/invoice, /mcp/quotes, /mcp/expense-tracker, /mcp/docx and /mcp/resume return their documents as one-hour download links and keep no output folder to read, so there is nothing for this tool to bundle. Pack the files with zip_upload plus zip_create instead. ``` ### `zip_create` - The name "zip_create" says "create": a word for a change. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Call this tool to pack files uploaded with zip_upload into a new .zip and get a download link valid for one hour. Entry names are always relative, so the archive cannot write outside where it is unpacked. ``` ### `zip_extract` - The description's first verb is "call": a word for a change. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Call this tool to unpack an archive; every entry comes back as its own download link valid for one hour. Traversal, absolute-path and symlink entries are refused, a size and ratio cap stops a zip bomb, and dry_run reports exactly what would be written. ``` ### `zip_extract_text` - The description's first verb is "call": a word for a change. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Call this tool to read one text entry out of an archive without unpacking anything: give the entry name and the text comes back inline. Binary entries are refused by name rather than printed as noise. ``` ### `zip_history` - The description's first verb is "list": a word for reading. - The server marks it as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false). - Findings: warn annotation-conflict Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text List the archives created for your token, newest first, with entry counts, sizes and names, plus how much of the free 20 a month is used. Each download link expires after an hour; the row keeps the name. ``` ### `zip_list` - The name "zip_list" says "list": a word for reading. - The description's first verb is "call": 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 Call this tool to list an archive's entries with sizes and ratios and flag what is dangerous: absolute paths, .., symlinks, encrypted entries, duplicate names and bombs. Read-only. Run it before zip_extract. ``` ## Only reads (2) Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow. ### `license_status` - The name "license_status" says "status": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Report this endpoint's licence state for your token as JSON: the product, the tier free or pro, why it is not Pro, and the checkout URL. Call it to explain a free-tier refusal. No arguments, nothing changes. ``` ### `zip_files` - The description's first verb is "list": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text List the files stored for your token on this endpoint, with their sizes. These are the names every path argument here resolves against. ``` ## Claude Code permissions For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `zip-archive-create-extract-bomb-guard`: ```json { "permissions": { "allow": [ "mcp__zip-archive-create-extract-bomb-guard__license_status", "mcp__zip-archive-create-extract-bomb-guard__zip_files" ], "ask": [ "mcp__zip-archive-create-extract-bomb-guard__license_activate", "mcp__zip-archive-create-extract-bomb-guard__zip_upload", "mcp__zip-archive-create-extract-bomb-guard__zip_create", "mcp__zip-archive-create-extract-bomb-guard__zip_list", "mcp__zip-archive-create-extract-bomb-guard__zip_extract", "mcp__zip-archive-create-extract-bomb-guard__zip_add", "mcp__zip-archive-create-extract-bomb-guard__zip_extract_text", "mcp__zip-archive-create-extract-bomb-guard__zip_bundle_month", "mcp__zip-archive-create-extract-bomb-guard__zip_history" ], "deny": [ "mcp__zip-archive-create-extract-bomb-guard__zip_delete_upload" ] } } ```
