## Exfil surface

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

| 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. | `mcp__email-verifier__submit_bulk_verification` `mcp__email-verifier__verify_email` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | `mcp__email-verifier__submit_bulk_verification` |

## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Deletes or cancels (1)

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

### `cancel_bulk_job`

- The name "cancel_bulk_job" says "cancel": a word for removing or ending something.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Cancel a pending or processing bulk job and release any reserved credits.
    Requires an API key.
```

## Changes things (2)

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

### `submit_bulk_verification`

- The name "submit_bulk_verification" says "submit": a word for a change.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.webhook_url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Queue a list of emails for asynchronous verification. Reserves up to N
    credits (final charge settles on completion). Poll get_bulk_job for status
    and results. Optionally provide webhook_url for a completion callback.
    Requires an API key. Returns {job_id, status, total_emails, credits_reserved}.
    
```

### `verify_email`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Verify a single email's deliverability (syntax, DNS/MX, SMTP mailbox,
    disposable / role / catch-all detection, confidence score).

    Costs 1 credit for a billable result (valid/invalid/catch_all/do_not_mail),
    whether fresh or served from cache. `unknown` results are free. Requires an
    API key. Returns {success, credits_used, result}.
    
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `get_bulk_job`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get the status, progress, and (when complete) results of a bulk job by
    its job_id. Requires an API key.
```

### `get_credit_balance`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Return your current credit balance and lifetime usage. Requires an API key.
```

### `list_bulk_jobs`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List your recent bulk verification jobs (paginated, newest first).
    Optionally filter by status. Requires an API key.
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `email-verifier`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__email-verifier__get_bulk_job",
      "mcp__email-verifier__list_bulk_jobs",
      "mcp__email-verifier__get_credit_balance"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__email-verifier__verify_email",
      "mcp__email-verifier__submit_bulk_verification"
    ],
    "deny": [
      "mcp__email-verifier__cancel_bulk_job"
    ]
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__email-verifier__verify_email`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__email-verifier__submit_bulk_verification`: untrusted-input, outbound

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-22T15:08:26.738Z, unchanged since 2026-10-22T15:08:26.738Z. 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 | `3` |
| Protocol version | `2025-06-18` |
| WWW-Authenticate on 401 | `not observed` |
| resource_metadata in WWW-Authenticate | `none` |
| RFC 9728 protected resource metadata | `https://mailvalid.io/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource` |
| Authorization servers | `https://mailvalid.io` |
| Legacy HTTP+SSE transport | `no` |
| Dynamic client registration | `yes` |
| Client ID metadata documents | `no` |

- **high** 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 3 tools that change things (1 destructive, 2 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://mailvalid.io/mcp/: tools/list returned 6 tools to an anonymous client, including cancel_bulk_job (destructive), verify_email (write), submit_bulk_verification (write)
```
