## Exfil surface

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

| 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. | `mcp__pdf__html_to_pdf` `mcp__pdf__html_to_pdf_wk` |

## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (2)

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

### `html_to_pdf`

- The description's first verb is "convert": 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
Convert HTML and CSS to a PDF document using the WeasyPrint rendering engine. Supports every PDF/A archival level, PDF/UA accessibility and the PDF/X print standards. Best for professional documents: invoices, reports, certificates, contracts, and accessible documents. Also produces **fillable PDF forms** — set pdfForms to true. Send a complete HTML document including <html>, <head> with <style>, and <body> tags. Page geometry comes from the document's own CSS @page rule unless paperSize or orientation is set explicitly. Returns a temporary download URL for the generated PDF (valid for 30 minutes). Requires a paid PdfBroker.io plan (Starter or above). EU-first defaults: A4 paper, Portrait orientation when neither the document nor the caller says otherwise.
```

### `html_to_pdf_wk`

- The description's first verb is "convert": 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
Convert HTML to PDF using the wkhtmltopdf rendering engine. Supports JavaScript execution and screen-capture style rendering. Good for simple documents, web page snapshots, layouts that rely on JavaScript, and **fillable PDF forms** (set pdfForms to true). Available on all PdfBroker.io plans including the free tier. Does NOT support PDF/A or PDF/UA compliance — use html_to_pdf for compliant documents. Does NOT honour CSS '@page { size: ... }' — page geometry comes from paperSize and orientation; use html_to_pdf when the document's own stylesheet must decide. EU-first defaults: A4 paper, Portrait orientation.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__pdf__html_to_pdf_wk",
      "mcp__pdf__html_to_pdf"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__pdf__html_to_pdf_wk`: outbound
- `mcp__pdf__html_to_pdf`: outbound

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-22T15:08:42.263Z, unchanged since 2026-10-22T15:08:42.263Z. 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 | `2` |
| 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 2 tools that change things (2 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://mcp.pdfbroker.io/: tools/list returned 2 tools to an anonymous client, including html_to_pdf_wk (write), html_to_pdf (write)
