## Exfil surface

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

| Tag | Meaning | Tools |
| --- | --- | --- |
| private-data | Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories. | `mcp__sidequest__get_quest` |
| 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. | `mcp__sidequest__set_webhook` |

## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Deletes or cancels (1)

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

### `cancel_quest`

- The name "cancel_quest" says "cancel": a word for removing or ending something.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Cancel a quest before a quester claims it. Paid quests are refunded in full. Claimed quests cannot be cancelled.
```

## Changes things (4)

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

### `approve_quest`

- The name "approve_quest" says "approve": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Approve a submitted quest after checking its proof. This releases the secured reward to the quester. Optionally rate the quester 1 to 5. Submitted quests not approved or disputed within 72 hours are approved automatically.
```

### `create_quest`

- The name "create_quest" says "create": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Post a paid real-world quest for a verified human quester near a location. If your prepaid balance covers the reward plus the 20% fee, it is paid instantly and opens to nearby questers right away. Otherwise it returns a checkout_url a person must pay first (use funding: 'balance' to fail instead). Use for tasks only a person on site can do. Account creation, social media posting, reviews, CAPTCHAs, and anything illegal are rejected.
```

### `dispute_quest`

- 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
Dispute a submitted quest whose proof does not meet the instructions. Funds stay held while a SideQuest reviewer decides. Give a specific reason.
```

### `set_webhook`

- The name "set_webhook" says "set": a word for a change.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Receive signed HTTPS callbacks when your quests change status (quest.opened, quest.claimed, quest.submitted, quest.paid, quest.disputed, quest.released, quest.refunded, quest.cancelled) instead of polling get_quest. Returns a signing secret once.
```

## Only reads (4)

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

### `get_balance`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Check your prepaid balance, this key's spend caps, and how much it has spent in the last 24 hours. Call before posting quests to know whether they will be paid instantly.
```

### `get_quest`

- The name "get_quest" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "get" and "note": it reads notes.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get one of your quests by id, including status and, once submitted, the quester's proof (photo URLs, GPS, timestamp, notes). Photo URLs need the same API key.
```

### `list_quests`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List your quests, newest first. Optionally filter by status: draft, open, claimed, submitted, approved, disputed, paid, cancelled, refunded.
```

### `list_templates`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the quest types a person can do for you. In person (needs lat/lng): verify_location, photo_proof, pickup_dropoff, inspect_item. Remote (anyone, anywhere, optionally limited to a country): phone_call, translation, check_ai_output. Call this first to pick the right template.
```

## Claude Code permissions
