## Exfil surface

No private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged untrusted-input or outbound.

| Tag | Meaning | Tools |
| --- | --- | --- |
| private-data | Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories. | `mcp__crowdin__crowdin_list_branches` `mcp__crowdin__crowdin_list_directories` `mcp__crowdin__crowdin_list_files` `mcp__crowdin__crowdin_list_strings` |
| 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 |

  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__crowdin__crowdin_list_projects",
      "mcp__crowdin__crowdin_get_project",
      "mcp__crowdin__crowdin_list_files",

      "mcp__crowdin__crowdin_add_translation"
    ]
  }

- `mcp__crowdin__crowdin_list_files`: private-data
- `mcp__crowdin__crowdin_list_branches`: private-data
- `mcp__crowdin__crowdin_list_directories`: private-data
- `mcp__crowdin__crowdin_list_strings`: private-data

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-22T15:27:11.689Z, unchanged since 2026-10-22T15:27:11.689Z. 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 |

| HTTP status of an anonymous initialize | `200` |

- **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://crowdin.usefulapi.io/mcp: tools/list returned 12 tools to an anonymous client, including crowdin_add_string (destructive), crowdin_add_translation (destructive)
