20 private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound paths in this server alone. Denying 1 outbound tool breaks every one: `mcp__bulksms__bulksms_send_message`.

## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Deletes or cancels (2)

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

### `bulksms_block_number`

- The description's first verb is "write": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
WRITE: adds ONE phone number to the account's blocked list, so that no further messages are sent to it (a send to a blocked number fails with FAILED.BLOCKED and still costs credits). This API has no way to remove a block again: do it only when the user asks for it. BulkSMS REST: POST /blocked-numbers.
```

### `bulksms_send_message`

- The name "bulksms_send_message" says "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.
- The description says "cannot be undone".
- The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Tag outbound: The name "bulksms_send_message" says "send": it sends or publishes something to other people.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
WRITE: SENDS REAL SMS to real people and SPENDS CREDITS from the user's BulkSMS account; it cannot be undone or recalled. One message text to 1 to 10 phone numbers in international format (e.g. +447700900000). Cost = credits per message part x number of parts x number of recipients (about 1 credit per 160-character GSM part to a standard-route destination; the exact cost depends on the destination and appears as creditCost on the sent messages afterwards). Messages longer than one part are concatenated up to max_parts parts (default 3). Non-GSM characters (emoji, accents outside GSM 03.38) are replaced by "?" unless auto_unicode is true, which sends Unicode (shorter parts, more credits). Messages to blocked numbers still cost credits. Only send what the user explicitly asked for, confirm the text and recipients first. No groups, no scheduling. Texts containing BulkSMS template placeholders such as {F0###}, {fn###} or {sn###} are rejected (they would merge contact data). BulkSMS REST: POST /messages.
```

## Only reads (6)

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

### `bulksms_get_message`

- The name "bulksms_get_message" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The name "bulksms_get_message" says "get" and "message": it reads messages. The description's first sentence says "get" and "message": it reads messages.
- Tag untrusted-input: The name "bulksms_get_message" says "get" and "message": it reads messages, which other people can write. The description's first sentence says "get" and "message": it reads messages, which other people can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get one sent or received message by its id: body, recipient, delivery status, number of parts and credit cost. BulkSMS REST: GET /messages/{id}.
```

### `bulksms_get_profile`

- The name "bulksms_get_profile" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "show" and "message": it reads messages.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "show" and "message": it reads messages, which other people can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Show the BulkSMS account: username, credit balance, credit limit, whether credit transfer is allowed, the daily message quota (size and remaining today) and the sender ids this account may use. Company and billing details are left out. BulkSMS REST: GET /profile.
```

### `bulksms_list_blocked_numbers`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List phone numbers the account may not send to (added via the API, by a recipient replying STOP, or by BulkSMS). To page, pass min_id = the largest id of the previous page + 1. BulkSMS REST: GET /blocked-numbers.
```

### `bulksms_list_messages`

- The name "bulksms_list_messages" says "list": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The name "bulksms_list_messages" says "list" and "message": it reads messages. The description's first sentence says "list" and "message": it reads messages.
- Tag untrusted-input: The name "bulksms_list_messages" says "list" and "message": it reads messages, which other people can write. The description's first sentence says "list" and "message": it reads messages, which other people can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List sent (SENT) and received (RECEIVED) SMS messages, newest first by default. BulkSMS limits the window to the last 7 days unless submission_date_from is given. To page newest-first, pass before_id = the smallest id of the previous page; with sort_order ASCENDING pass after_id = the largest id of the previous page. REST: GET /messages with a `filter` built from the arguments.
```

### `bulksms_list_replies`

- The name "bulksms_list_replies" says "list": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "list" and "message": it reads messages.
- Tag untrusted-input: The name "bulksms_list_replies" says "list" and "reply": it reads comments, which other people can write. The description's first sentence says "list" and "reply": it reads comments, which other people can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the received (RECEIVED) replies linked to a sent message id. Only messages sent with a REPLIABLE sender have linked replies. An empty list means none or an unknown id. BulkSMS REST: GET /messages/{id}/relatedReceivedMessages.
```

### `bulksms_list_webhooks`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the account's webhooks (name, trigger SENT/RECEIVED, active flag, invoke option). Only the host of each webhook URL is shown: the path and query can hold a secret. Read-only: webhooks are not changed by this server. BulkSMS REST: GET /webhooks.
```

## Claude Code permissions

      "mcp__bulksms__bulksms_send_message",
      "mcp__bulksms__bulksms_block_number"
    ]
  }
}

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-22T15:25:26.193Z, unchanged since 2026-10-22T15:25:26.193Z. No credentials were sent and no tool was called. Values are shown as the endpoint returned them. Method: https://anlyon.dev/methodology#remote-posture

- **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://bulksms.usefulapi.io/mcp: tools/list returned 8 tools to an anonymous client, including bulksms_send_message (destructive), bulksms_block_number (destructive)
