## 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__sanctionscreen__enrich_company` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | none |

## Findings

- **info** Long descriptions in `screen_counterparty` ([long-description](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#long-description))

```untrusted-server-text
The description is 3,311 characters long, over the 2,000 this check looks for.

description ends: "...disposition": "clear", "matches": [], "disclaimer": "...", "generated_at": "..."}"
```


## Changes things (1)

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

### `screen_counterparty`

- 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.
- Findings: info long-description

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Screen a counterparty name against the indexed sanctions lists (OFAC SDN, UK FCDO consolidated).

What it does: normalizes the query (Unicode NFKD fold, punctuation strip, lowercase, Cyrillic/Greek transliteration; tolerant to token order e.g. "Putin Vladimir" vs "Vladimir Putin"), looks it up in the sanctions index, and returns EVERY match at low confidence or above with a per-match citation. Low-confidence matches are never hidden.

Inputs:
- name (required, string): full name of the person or entity.
- country (optional, ISO-3166 alpha-2, e.g. "RU"): corroborates nationality/citizenship identifiers.
- dob (optional, "YYYY-MM-DD"): a dob match adds +15 to the score — the strongest corroborator.
- identifiers (optional, [{type, value}]): extra identifiers to check against the record, e.g. [{"type":"passport","value":"719023441"}].
- request_id (optional, string): idempotency key; safe to retry.
- include_low_confidence (optional, boolean, default true): fuzzy matches (Jaro-Winkler >= 0.92) land in the low tier. Keep true — hiding low matches is a compliance liability.

Output: {screening_id, disposition, matches[], disclaimer, generated_at}.
- disposition: "clear" (no matches) | "potential_match" (any medium/low match) | "review_advised" (any high-confidence match — human review required before any adverse action).
- Each match: {list, list_date, record_uid, matched_name, name_kind (primary|alias_strong|alias_weak), confidence (high|medium|low), confidence_score (0-100), matched_fields, citation {source, url, accessed_at}}.
- Confidence math: exact primary 80 / alias_strong 70 / alias_weak 55; dob match +15. Tiers: high >= 85, medium >= 60, low >= 30. Fuzzy (JW >= 0.92) -> low tier, score 30-55.
- LANGUAGE RULE: report "potential match", never "sanctioned". Screening is informational only — not a legal verdict. Every response carries the fixed disclaimer.

EXAMPLE 1 — listed individual with corroborating dob:
Input:  {"name": "Vladimir Putin", "dob": "1952-10-07", "request_id": "demo-001"}
Output: {"screening_id": "cs_scr_...", "disposition": "review_advised",
  "matches": [{"list": "OFAC_SDN", "list_date": "2026-09-23", "record_uid": "35096",
    "matched_name": "putin vladimir", "name_kind": "alias_strong",
    "confidence": "high", "confidence_score": 85, "matched_fields": ["name", "dob"],
    "citation": {"source": "U.S. Treasury OFAC SDN List", "url": "https://sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov/", "accessed_at": "2026-09-26T...Z"}}],
  "disclaimer": "Informational only — not a legal verdict. Not a substitute for due diligence. Human review required before any adverse action.",
  "generated_at": "2026-09-26T...Z"}

EXAMPLE 2 — same person, no dob (exact alias match, medium):
Input:  {"name": "Vladimir Putin"}
Output: {"screening_id": "cs_scr_...", "disposition": "potential_match",
  "matches": [{"list": "OFAC_SDN", "list_date": "2026-09-23", "record_uid": "35096",
    "matched_name": "putin vladimir", "name_kind": "alias_strong",
    "confidence": "medium", "confidence_score": 70, "matched_fields": ["name"],
    "citation": {...}}], "disclaimer": "...", "generated_at": "..."}

EXAMPLE 3 — clear name:
Input:  {"name": "John Smith"}
Output: {"screening_id": "cs_scr_...", "disposition": "clear", "matches": [], "disclaimer": "...", "generated_at": "..."}
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `enrich_company`

- The description's first verb is "resolve": 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
Resolve a company domain or legal name to structured company facts via the free public GLEIF LEI registry.

Inputs: {domain? e.g. "apple.com", name? e.g. "Apple Inc.", request_id? (idempotency)}. At least one of domain/name is required.

v1 boundaries (returned honestly, never invented):
- GLEIF has no domain index: domain-only lookups are best-effort (registrable-name candidates are tried). Provide the legal company name for reliable resolution.
- GLEIF does not publish industry, industry_code, size_band, or employee_range: those come back null, each with a sources[] entry documenting the gap.
- founded is the legal-entity creation date (GLEIF publishes no true founding date).
- Unresolvable input -> tool error with code UNRESOLVABLE.

Output: {company_id, legal_name, domain, industry, industry_code, size_band, employee_range, hq: {country, city}, founded, sources: [{field, source, url}], confidence, generated_at}.

EXAMPLE 1:
Input:  {"domain": "apple.com", "request_id": "demo-e1"}
Output: {"company_id": "cs_co_...", "legal_name": "Apple Inc.", "domain": "apple.com",
  "industry": null, "industry_code": null, "size_band": null, "employee_range": null,
  "hq": {"country": "US", "city": "Cupertino"}, "founded": "1980-12-12",
  "sources": [{"field": "legal_name", "source": "GLEIF LEI (api.gleif.org)", "url": "https://api.gleif.org/api/v1/lei-records/..."},
              {"field": "industry", "source": "GLEIF LEI — field not published by GLEIF (null by design in v1)", "url": "https://api.gleif.org/api/v1/lei-records/..."}],
  "confidence": "high", "generated_at": "2026-09-26T...Z"}

EXAMPLE 2 — unresolvable:
Input:  {"name": "Nonexistent Widgets Pty Ltd ZZ"}
Tool error: {"code": "UNRESOLVABLE", "message": "No GLEIF LEI record matched ..."}
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__sanctionscreen__enrich_company"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__sanctionscreen__screen_counterparty"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__sanctionscreen__enrich_company`: untrusted-input

```untrusted-server-text
The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 1 tool that changes things (1 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://api.sanctionsscreen.io/mcp: tools/list returned 2 tools to an anonymous client, including screen_counterparty (write)
