What it can reach
- untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
Description, as the server wrote it WRITE: set or remove the expiration of a short link. The link expires after a number of clicks or on a date, and can then redirect to another URL. mode 'none' removes an existing expiration. Needs the Single plan or higher.

Annotations the server declares
- title: Set link expiration
- readOnlyHint: false

Changing the alias makes the old short link stop working; changing the destination redirects every visitor to the new URL at once. Link editing needs the Single plan or higher. Cuttly sends no previous values back, so ask the user before you change a live link. The call is sent once and never retried. GET https://cutt.ly/api/api.php?edit=...

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
Exfil surface
Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.
No private-data, untrusted-input, outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data.
- Reads private data0
- Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
- Reads text others write6
- Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
- Can send data out1
- Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.
Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.
