## 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.

### `guardian_review`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Sanity-check a causal claim ("cause drove effect") before acting on it.

Provide exactly one of ``csv`` (CSV text) or ``data`` (list of row objects)
containing columns named by ``cause`` and ``effect``. Returns a verdict --
``pass`` (act), ``caution`` (act carefully), or ``hold`` (do not act; the effect
looks confounded or unsupported) -- with the naive correlational effect versus the
confounder-adjusted causal effect and its confidence interval, the confounders
adjusted for, a confidence score, a plain-English interpretation, and a
recommended action. All numbers are deterministic statistics (never LLM-generated);
only the interpretation prose may be AI-written.

Args:
    cause: Treatment column the claim says drives the outcome (e.g. "ad_spend").
    effect: Outcome column (e.g. "new_customers").
    csv: Dataset as CSV text (header row required).
    data: Dataset as a list of row records (alternative to ``csv``).
    known_confounders: Columns to adjust for; otherwise discovered automatically.
    context: Free-text business context, e.g. "Q3 promo evaluation".
    units: Display-only unit hints by column, e.g. {"ad_spend": "USD"}.
    step: A concrete treatment step (e.g. 1000 for a $1,000 spend increase) to
        restate the effect in business terms (cost per incremental outcome, ...).
    time_col: Column to order rows by for time series (autocorrelation-robust
        standard errors and adstock).
    adstock: Opt-in geometric-adstock transform for a lagged/carryover treatment.
    se: Standard-error flavor; "auto" diagnoses autocorrelation when ``time_col``
        is given.
    test_design: ``true`` (or an options object) also returns how many periods a
        spend-cut test needs to confirm the effect.

```
