## 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.


## Deletes or cancels (2)

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

### `braintree_refund_transaction`

- The name "braintree_refund_transaction" says "refund": a word that usually means money moves, which cannot be taken back.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
DESTRUCTIVE. Refund a SETTLED (or settling) transaction, returning money to the customer. Use the GraphQL global transaction ID. Omit `amount` for a full refund, or pass a decimal string for a partial refund. GraphQL mutation `refundTransaction`. For transactions not yet settled, use braintree_void_transaction instead.
```

### `braintree_void_transaction`

- The name "braintree_void_transaction" says "void": a word for removing or ending something.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
DESTRUCTIVE. Void (cancel) a transaction that has NOT yet settled — e.g. an authorization or one submitted-for-settlement. Use the GraphQL global transaction ID. GraphQL mutation `voidTransaction`. For already-settled transactions use braintree_refund_transaction instead.
```

## Only reads (5)

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

### `braintree_customer_payment_methods`

- The description's first verb is "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the vaulted payment methods (credit cards, PayPal accounts, etc.) for one customer, by GraphQL global Customer ID. Returns each method's id, legacyId, usage, created-at, and detail type. GraphQL `node { ... on Customer { paymentMethods } }`.
```

### `braintree_find_customer`

- The name "braintree_find_customer" says "find": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch one customer by GraphQL global Customer ID via the `node` query. Returns id, legacyId, name, company, and created-at. To also enumerate stored cards/PayPal accounts use braintree_customer_payment_methods.
```

### `braintree_find_transaction`

- The name "braintree_find_transaction" says "find": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch one transaction by its GraphQL global ID (the opaque `id` returned by braintree_search_transactions, NOT the short legacy id). Uses the GraphQL `node` query. Returns amount, status, timestamps, order id, and the linked customer.
```

### `braintree_list_subscriptions`

- The name "braintree_list_subscriptions" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List a customer's recurring / subscription payment activity. IMPORTANT: Braintree's GraphQL API does NOT expose native Subscription objects (recurring-billing management is still legacy-API only — see braintree/graphql-api issue #1). This tool therefore returns the customer's transactions (the observable evidence of subscription charges) via a TransactionSearchInput scoped to the customer; inspect each node's status/amount/createdAt to trace recurring charges. For full subscription CRUD you must use Braintree's legacy server SDK / REST API.
```

### `braintree_search_transactions`

- The name "braintree_search_transactions" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search transactions by created-at date range, status, and/or customer. Builds a TransactionSearchInput (operators: status `in`, createdAt `greaterThanOrEqualTo`/`lessThanOrEqualTo`, customer.id `is`). Returns a page of transaction nodes (id, legacyId, amount, status, createdAt). GraphQL `search { transactions }`.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__braintree__braintree_find_transaction",
      "mcp__braintree__braintree_search_transactions",
      "mcp__braintree__braintree_find_customer",
      "mcp__braintree__braintree_customer_payment_methods",
      "mcp__braintree__braintree_list_subscriptions"
    ],
    "ask": [],
    "deny": [
      "mcp__braintree__braintree_refund_transaction",
      "mcp__braintree__braintree_void_transaction"
    ]
  }
}
```

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-22T15:25:08.560Z, unchanged since 2026-10-22T15:25:08.560Z. 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 | `https://braintree.usefulapi.io/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp` |
| Authorization servers | `https://braintree.usefulapi.io` |
| Legacy HTTP+SSE transport | `no` |
| Dynamic client registration | `yes` |
| Client ID metadata documents | `no` |

- **high** 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 destructive). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://braintree.usefulapi.io/mcp: tools/list returned 7 tools to an anonymous client, including braintree_refund_transaction (destructive), braintree_void_transaction (destructive)
