## 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 (5)

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

### `harvest_create_time_entry`

- The name "harvest_create_time_entry" says "create": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Create a time entry. Requires project_id, task_id and spent_date. Provide `hours` to log a specific duration; OR provide `started_time` (+ optional `ended_time`) for a timestamped entry; OR omit both to start a running timer (on a timestamp-tracking account).

```

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-22T15:29:05.065Z, unchanged since 2026-10-22T15:29:05.065Z. 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 | `5` |
| Protocol version | `2025-06-18` |
| WWW-Authenticate on 401 | `not observed` |
| resource_metadata in WWW-Authenticate | `none` |
| RFC 9728 protected resource metadata | `https://harvest.usefulapi.io/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp` |
| Authorization servers | `https://harvest.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 5 tools that change things (5 destructive). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://harvest.usefulapi.io/mcp: tools/list returned 20 tools to an anonymous client, including harvest_create_time_entry (destructive), harvest_update_time_entry (destructive), harvest_stop_time_entry (destructive), harvest_restart_time_entry (destructive), harvest_delete_time_entry (destructive)
