## 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.


## Only reads (1)

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

### `pulse_analyze`

- The name "pulse_analyze" says "analyze": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Estimate a causal effect from a dataset and answer a business question.

Provide exactly one of ``csv`` (CSV text) or ``data`` (list of row objects).
Returns the full long-form Pulse report (the same answer an email reply
contains) as the primary text content and as ``report`` in the structured
result, followed by chart PNGs as image content blocks (unless
``include_charts`` is false). Structured fields: the adjusted effect size
(``ate``/``effect_size``) with its confidence
interval (``ci_low``, ``ci_high``, ``ci_range``), per-channel effects
(``channels``, keyed by outcome), confidence, and caveats. A ``test_design``
(how long a spend-cut test would take to confirm the effect, and whether the data
already suffices) is included only when the question asks about sample size,
power, or how long a test would take, or when ``include_test_design`` is true;
otherwise it is null. With ``include_guardian_verdict`` it also returns
``guardian_verdict`` ``{verdict: pass|caution|hold, reason}``, computed locally.
All numbers are deterministic statistics, never LLM-generated.

Args:
    question: The business question, e.g. "Does ad spend drive sales?".
    csv: Dataset as CSV text.
    data: Dataset as a list of row records (alternative to ``csv``).
    cause: Treatment column (inferred from the question if omitted).
    effect: Outcome column (inferred if omitted).
    confounders: Columns to adjust for, in addition to those discovered.
    outcomes: Several outcome columns, for by-channel effects.
    time_col: Time column (used for the test-design cadence).
    include_guardian_verdict: Also return a pass/caution/hold verdict.
    include_charts: Attach chart images (DAG, effect, trend) as image content.
    include_test_design: Force the spend-cut test design / sample-size section on
        (true) or off (false). Omit (null) to include it only when the question
        asks about sample size, statistical power, or how long a test would take.
