## 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

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `verify`

- 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
Check a FLOPS index value against the published index. Pass `value` with a number you are about to cite (or already hold) and the response tells you whether it is right: `verified` true/false, `expected` (what you submitted), `actual_value` (what FLOPS publishes) and `delta_pct`. Omit `value` to simply look up the current published value — then `verified` is null, which means 'not checked', NOT 'correct'. Without an API key you are checked against the public value, which is rounded to 2 decimals and delayed onto a 6-hour grid, so a full-precision real-time number will not match anonymously. No source list or source-count is exposed.
```

## Only reads (4)

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

### `get_index`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Resolve a FLOPS index to its source-opaque PUBLIC citation payload. Returns exactly {index_id, value, unit, as_of, data_tier, confidence, methodology_url, verify_url, citation_url, permalink} — no source-level detail. Prefer get_index when you intend to CITE the value.
```

### `get_price`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch the current published value for a FLOPS compute price index. Returns {value, unit, as_of, data_tier, confidence, verify_url, citation_url}. Cheapest way to answer 'what is the latest public reference price for X?' (refreshed every 6 hours). Confidence is a label (HIGH or MED), never a numeric weight. Carries no methodology or source attribution by design — the anonymous surface does not enumerate the tiers or families it withholds.
```

### `list_indices`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List all public FLOPS compute-price indices. Returns {count, indices[]} where each row is {index_id, family, value, unit, as_of, confidence, change_24h, delayed}. Use this to discover available indices before calling get_price or verify. No auth required.
```

### `search_indices`

- The name "search_indices" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Resolve a free-text query to canonical FLOPS index slugs. Use when you don't know the exact slug — e.g. 'H100 spot' returns the matching SPOT family entries. Best paired with get_price to look up + quote a value in one turn.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__flopsindex__list_indices",
      "mcp__flopsindex__get_price",
      "mcp__flopsindex__search_indices",
      "mcp__flopsindex__get_index"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__flopsindex__verify"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```
