**5 tools: 1 change things and 4 only read.**

| Group | Class | Tools | Claude Code |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Deletes or cancels | destructive | 0 | deny |
| Can't be undone | irreversible | 0 | ask |
| Changes things | write | 1 | ask |
| Only reads | read | 4 | allow |

## Exfil surface

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

| Tag | Meaning | Tools |
| --- | --- | --- |
| private-data | Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories. | `mcp__contraptify__show` |
| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | `mcp__contraptify__show` |
| 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 `simulate` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "simulate" 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 description's first verb is "run": a word for a change.
```


## Changes things (1)

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

### `simulate`

- The description's first verb is "run": 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
Run a redstone design with its own test (inputs and expectations) and return which expectations hold and which fail (with what the block was instead, and when), what visibly changed (lamps, pistons, doors, dispensers) and when, dispenser shots, and notes on what broke. Without a test it just runs the machine and reports what changed. Use it on every candidate before showing it. Do not use it to display a design to the user: use show.
```

## Only reads (4)

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

### `explain`

- The name "explain" says "explain": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List a design's parts with their explanations, how many blocks each covers, and any blocks without a part. Use it before show to make sure every block is explained. Do not use it to test whether the machine works: use simulate.
```

### `get_example`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Return one built-in example design with its blocks, part explanations and its own test, by id from list_examples. Large designs (the 0-9 counter has about 2,500 blocks, the 00-59 clock about 5,100) are long. Do not use it to show an example to the user: use show with example set.
```

### `list_examples`

- The name "list_examples" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the built-in example designs (clocks, counters, a piston door, a lock, a flying machine). Use it to find a known-good starting point. Do not use it to fetch a design's blocks: use get_example.
```

### `show`

- The name "show" says "show": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "show" and "chat": it reads messages.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "show" and "chat": it reads messages, which other people can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Show a design to the user in an interactive 3D viewer in the chat: they can press its button or flip its lever, watch it run tick by tick, move around, and click any part to read what it does. Give either design, or example (an id from list_examples). Simulate the design first. Do not use it to test a design: use simulate.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__contraptify__explain",
      "mcp__contraptify__list_examples",
      "mcp__contraptify__get_example",
      "mcp__contraptify__show"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__contraptify__simulate"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

Capability tags behind the rules (a read tagged outbound is asked about):

- `mcp__contraptify__show`: private-data, untrusted-input

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-11-02T00:19:53.267Z, unchanged since 2026-11-02T00:19:53.267Z. 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 | `1` |
| Protocol version | `2025-06-18` |
| WWW-Authenticate on 401 | `not observed` |
| resource_metadata in WWW-Authenticate | `none` |
| RFC 9728 protected resource metadata | `none` |
| Authorization servers | `none` |
| Legacy HTTP+SSE transport | `no` |
| 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 1 tool that changes things (1 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://mcp.contraptify.com/mcp: tools/list returned 5 tools to an anonymous client, including simulate (write)
