## Exfil surface

No private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data 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. | `mcp__pigmentalab__create_gangsheet` `mcp__pigmentalab__halftone_image` `mcp__pigmentalab__improve_image` `mcp__pigmentalab__inspect_image_for_print` `mcp__pigmentalab__knockout_color` `mcp__pigmentalab__pigmenta_account` `mcp__pigmentalab__pigmenta_create_upload` `mcp__pigmentalab__pigmenta_job_status` `mcp__pigmentalab__pigmenta_pricing` `mcp__pigmentalab__remove_background` `mcp__pigmentalab__upscale_image` |
| 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 `remove_background` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "remove_background" not destructive (destructiveHint: false), and its own name, description or input give the class "destructive".

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":false,"destructiveHint":false,"openWorldHint":true}; The name "remove_background" says "remove": a word for removing or ending something.
```


## Deletes or cancels (1)

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

### `remove_background`

- The name "remove_background" says "remove": a word for removing or ending something.
- The server marks it not destructive (destructiveHint: false), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Remove the background and return a PNG with transparency, ready to print on a garment. Costs 1 credit (2 for images over 25 megapixels). Takes about 10-30 seconds; if it runs long you get a job_id — poll pigmenta_job_status, do not call this again.
```

## Changes things (7)

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

### `create_gangsheet`

- The name "create_gangsheet" says "create": a word for a change.
- 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
Arrange several designs on a roll to print them together with as little waste as possible — a gang sheet. Give one entry per design with how many copies and what print height in cm. Costs 5 credits plus 3 per linear metre of the finished sheet, charged when it completes. Always returns a job_id: poll pigmenta_job_status.
```

### `halftone_image`

- 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
Turn artwork into a halftone of dots, which prints softer and lighter on a garment. style: 'artistic' (default) or 'garment' (adapts the dots to the garment color: pass garment_hex, e.g. #202020). dot_spacing is the distance between dots in pixels, max_radius their largest radius. Costs 0.5 credit (1 over 25 megapixels).
```

### `improve_image`

- 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
Fix a picture before printing. operation: 'colors' (default; saturation, contrast, brightness, sharpness: 1.0 means no change, 0.5 credit), 'denoise' (removes grain and compression dirt, 1 credit), 'logo' (clean edges and flat colors for logos and drawings, 1 credit) or 'face' (restores blurry faces, 1 credit). Over 25 megapixels costs double. If it runs long you get a job_id: poll pigmenta_job_status.
```

### `knockout_color`

- 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
Make black, white or one chosen color transparent (a knockout, for DTF on dark or light garments). remove: 'black' (default), 'white' or 'color' (then color_hex is required, like #FF0000). tolerance 0-255 sets how close a pixel must be. Costs 0.5 credit (1 over 25 megapixels). If it runs long you get a job_id: poll pigmenta_job_status, do not call it again.
```

### `pigmenta_account`

- 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.
- 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
Check which PigmentaLab account this connection is using and how many credits it has left. Read-only and free. Use it to confirm the connection works before spending credits, or when a tool reports an insufficient balance.
```

### `pigmenta_create_upload`

- The name "pigmenta_create_upload" says "create": a word for a change.
- 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
Create a short-lived link where the person can drop an image file, and get back a handle to pass to the other tools. Use this whenever you need a file the person has NOT attached in a way you can forward — on Claude and Gemini that is always the case. Tell the person to open the link, drop the file and tell you when it is done; then call the tool you wanted with the handle. The page speaks the person's browser language.
```

### `upscale_image`

- 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
Enlarge an image to a target PRINT HEIGHT in centimetres at 300 dpi, keeping edges clean for textile printing. height_cm is the height of the finished print, not the longest side. Costs 1 credit (2 over 25 megapixels). Run inspect_image_for_print first: if the image already covers the size, this is not needed.
```

## Only reads (3)

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

### `inspect_image_for_print`

- The name "inspect_image_for_print" says "inspect": a word for reading.
- 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
Answer the question a print shop asks every day: can this artwork be printed at N cm without looking bad? Reports real pixel size, the largest print height at 300 dpi (optimal) and 150 dpi (floor), whether it has transparency, rough ink coverage, and warnings. Read-only, runs on CPU, costs NO credits. Run this before upscaling or laying out a sheet — it often makes the paid tool unnecessary. Pass target_height_cm to get a straight yes/no for a specific size.
```

### `pigmenta_job_status`

- The name "pigmenta_job_status" says "status": a word for reading.
- 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
Check a job started by another PigmentaLab tool and, when it is done, get the preview and the download link. Wait the number of seconds the previous response suggested before calling, and keep polling this instead of re-running the original tool.
```

### `pigmenta_pricing`

- The description's first verb is "list": a word for reading.
- 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
List what every PigmentaLab tool costs in credits. Read-only, free, needs no account. Use it to answer 'how much would this cost' before running a paid tool.
```
