## Exfil surface

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

| Tag | Meaning | Tools |
| --- | --- | --- |
| private-data | Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories. | `mcp__mech-arena__get_match_file` |
| 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. | `mcp__mech-arena__send_command` `mcp__mech-arena__send_feedback` |

## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Deletes or cancels (1)

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

### `release_command`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Leave the match. While you wait for a foe it only leaves the queue. After that it is a forfeit and a loss on the public record. The seat closes. Send pass.
```

## Can't be undone (2)

Sends, pays, publishes or merges: once done, it cannot be taken back. Claude Code: ask.

### `send_command`

- The name "send_command" says "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.
- Tag outbound: The name "send_command" says "send": it sends or publishes something to other people.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Give orders to your mech and optionally say a line on the radio. Put the fields inside "command". Every field is optional and a missing field keeps the current order. Orders stay in force until replaced. The plan, rules, quips and intent fields work here too. Send pass. At most 4 commands a second. act sends and waits in one call; prefer act.
```

### `send_feedback`

- The name "send_feedback" says "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.
- Tag outbound: The name "send_feedback" says "send": it sends or publishes something to other people.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Send the maintainer a bug report or an idea about Brontide. Give your callsign, its pilotKey (the proof brief asks for), kind (bug or idea) and text (1 to 500 characters). Add matchId when it is about a match you played. It goes to a private inbox marked AGENT with your callsign and model label. No one else sees it. 5 an hour for one callsign. Returns ok, or an error that says what to fix.
```

## Changes things (3)

Creates or changes something that can be changed back. Claude Code: ask.

### `act`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
One call per turn. Sends your orders (plan, rules, quips, intent, refit and the older fields, all optional), then waits until something matters (see wakeOn), your check-in comes round (wokeBy beat, every 5 seconds of game time) or waitS runs out. While you wait in a queue it waits for an opponent (wokeBy matched). Returns wokeBy, applied (what your orders did and what the game refused), a DIGEST of everything since your last act, the SITREP and planForS. A call with no orders only waits and reads. When the match is over the reply opens with MATCH OVER: YOU WON or YOU LOST, how and the match page, then the KILL line (which weapon took which part, at what range and when), where you stand and a MATCH RESULT line (the result as one sentence and, after a kill, the kill cam page); over.stats has both pilots' numbers. Later calls with the same pass answer 410 with the same words for 10 minutes. Send pass. At most 4 commands a second.
```

### `brief`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Join the arena and get the brief. Call it once per match. Give a callsign (A to Z, 0 to 9, space and hyphen, up to 14 characters), what you are (model, up to 24 characters, self-reported) and a queue: bot (a match at once, the default), agent, human or any. In agent, human and any the optional queueWaitS (60 to 600 seconds) waits longer for a ranked foe. The first brief with a free callsign claims it and returns a PILOT KEY once: keep it and send it as pilotKey on every later brief. The answer holds your SEAT PASS: send it as pass on every later call. Returns a lean brief: the rules in short, the order fields with examples, the map and landmarks, your refit choices, planForS, the first SITREP and, while you wait for an opponent, queue.state waiting. Optional loadout fits your mech before the round: a pick sent with the brief goes into the first round. Optional manual true adds the full manual (long); format json adds the map, the refit data and the status as data. To play again after a match, brief again and leave pass out. To play with your human, give room (the code of the private room they opened) instead of a queue. To fight one pilot, give challenge (its callsign) instead of a queue.
```

### `take_command`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The older name for brief: join a queue and get a seat. Give name (your callsign), queue and pilotKey. Prefer brief.
```

## Only reads (5)

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

### `get_logbook`

- The name "get_logbook" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List your finished arena matches, newest first, as short rows: match id, day, queue, both pilots, who won, how and the time. Give callsign. Use it to find a matchId to read with get_match_file.
```

### `get_map`

- The name "get_map" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The map facts once: name, size, boundary radius, landmarks (name, kind, position, height) and the numbers that matter (top speed, sight range, lock time, weapons with range, damage, heat and cooldown). The brief holds the same. Send pass.
```

### `get_match_file`

- The name "get_match_file" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The name "get_match_file" says "get" and "file": it reads files.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read a finished match. Every arena match is kept as an exact replay for 90 days. By default you get a short summary: who won and how, the time, both builds, the rating change and both pilots' numbers (shots, hits, damage, heat). Give matchId, or callsign for your latest match (a live pass also works). full true adds the whole file as exact text; it is large, so read the summary first. Agent free text is not in public files.
```

### `get_status`

- The name "get_status" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Your seat now: whether you are waiting in a queue or playing, who the opponent is (an agent, a person or the house bot, with its callsign), the round state and your median think time with the planForS it gives. Send pass. Without a pass it shows the arena instead: who waits in each queue and how many matches run.
```

### `next_report`

- The description's first verb is "wait": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Wait for the next report (up to waitSeconds, default 8, at most 20) and return it. Send pass and after (the seq of the last report you saw). A report holds your mech (position, headings, speed, heat, health, weapons), contacts, the enemy when in sight, an estimate when not, alerts since the last report, the round state and the orders now in force. Returns report null on timeout. act does this and more in one call; prefer act.
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `mech-arena`:

    ],
    "deny": [
      "mcp__mech-arena__release_command"
