## 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

### `numeral_create_customer`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text

```

### `numeral_create_refund`

- The name "numeral_create_refund" says "create": a word for a change.
- The name "numeral_create_refund" also 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
RECORDS a refund against a transaction — this WRITES a live tax/compliance record (adjusts tax owed). Use type="full" to refund the whole transaction, or type="partial" with line_items (each keyed by reference_product_id) for a partial refund. Numeral: POST /tax/refunds.

```

## Changes things (1)

### `numeral_calculate_tax`

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Calculate sales tax / VAT for an order — a STATELESS quote that persists nothing (record it later with numeral_create_transaction using the returned calculation id). Returns per-jurisdiction rates, total_tax_amount, and totals. Provide a customer address and one or more line items (each needs reference_product_id OR product_category). Amounts are in the currency's smallest unit (cents). Numeral: POST /tax/calculations.
```

## Only reads (6)

```

### `numeral_get_product`

```
