## Exfil surface

2 private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound paths in this server alone. Denying 1 outbound tool breaks every one: `mcp__retrogrades__ephemeris_range`.

| Tag | Meaning | Tools |
| --- | --- | --- |
| private-data | Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories. | `mcp__retrogrades__get_daily_inspiration` |
| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | `mcp__retrogrades__mercury_retrograde_dates` `mcp__retrogrades__next_mercury_retrograde` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | `mcp__retrogrades__ephemeris_range` |

| Private data | Untrusted input | Outbound |

## Findings

- **warn** Annotations that disagree with the tool in `ephemeris_range` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "ephemeris_range" read-only (readOnlyHint: true), and its own name, description or input give the class "irreversible".

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
```

- **warn** Annotations that disagree with the tool in `void_of_course` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "void_of_course" read-only (readOnlyHint: true), and its own name, description or input give the class "destructive".

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "void_of_course" says "void": a word for removing or ending something.
```

- **warn** Annotations that disagree with the tool in `void_of_course` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "void_of_course" not destructive (destructiveHint: false), and its own name, description or input give the class "destructive".

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "void_of_course" says "void": a word for removing or ending something.
```


## Deletes or cancels (1)

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

### `void_of_course`

- The name "void_of_course" says "void": a word for removing or ending something.
- The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- The server marks it not destructive (destructiveHint: false), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict, warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Every void-of-course Moon period between two dates (up to 62 days): start (the Moon's last exact Ptolemaic aspect to the Sun or a planet in its sign), end (entry into the next sign), length in hours, the last aspect and the signs. Computed live from the ephemeris (astronomy-engine, about 1′), tropical zodiac on the true ecliptic of date, geocentric, UTC. Astronomical positions only, no interpretation. Paid tool: $0.01 per call in USDC on Base via x402 (HTTP 402 with payment requirements; retry with a PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header). Free tools cover the current status and the next retrograde.
```

## Can't be undone (1)

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

### `ephemeris_range`

- The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a destination (input.to): what the tool writes goes there.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Every retrograde-cycle moment of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune or Pluto between two dates: pre-shadow start, station retrograde, cazimi or opposition, station direct and post-shadow end, each to the UTC minute with the zodiacal degree, as a sorted event list plus the cycles they belong to. Up to 5 years per call; defaults to one year from `from`. Times are UTC, to the minute, from the ephemeris (JPL DE421, 2025–2030). This is astronomical timing, not a horoscope. Paid tool: $0.01 per call in USDC on Base via x402 (HTTP 402 with payment requirements; retry with a PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header). Free tools cover the current status and the next retrograde.
```

## Only reads (6)

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

### `get_daily_inspiration`

- The name "get_daily_inspiration" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "calendar": it reads calendars.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The day's inspiration from the Cazimi app and cazimi.live: two short true stories tied to the calendar date (a person born or died, or an event, on this day in history), one verbatim quote from a public-domain classic (Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, Seneca, Laozi, Tagore, Emerson, Thoreau and others) with a short reflection, and one traditional parable retold (Aesop, Zen, Sufi, Jataka, folk tales). Each entry ends with a one-line suggestion for today. On Mercury retrograde days the quote and parable are chosen for slowing down and reviewing. Same date, same set; 1,187 entries in English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French and Ukrainian. Free tool. Each result carries attribution: quote author, work, translator and Project Gutenberg link; stories, reflections and retellings are by Cazimi.
```

### `mercury_retrograde_dates`

- The description's first verb is "list": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "list" and "post": it reads posts, which other people can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Lists every Mercury retrograde period that falls in or overlaps a year from 2025 to 2030, with sign, pre-shadow, station retrograde, cazimi, station direct and post-shadow end. Times are UTC, to the minute, from the ephemeris (JPL DE421, 2025–2030). This is astronomical timing, not a horoscope.

Returns the next Mercury cazimi (exact Sun–Mercury conjunction during a retrograde) after a date, with the UTC minute, the degree and 17′ window when known, and the previous cazimi. A cazimi within 12 hours of the date counts as today's and is returned as the previous one. Times are UTC, to the minute, from the ephemeris (JPL DE421, 2025–2030). This is astronomical timing, not a horoscope. Paid tool: $0.005 per call in USDC on Base via x402 (HTTP 402 with payment requirements; retry with a PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Lists every retrograde period of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune or Pluto that falls in or overlaps a year from 2025 to 2030 (a year with none says so and names the next one), with sign, shadows, cazimi or opposition, and stations. Times are UTC, to the minute, from the ephemeris (JPL DE421, 2025–2030). This is astronomical timing, not a horoscope.

```untrusted-server-text
The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 9 tools that change things (1 destructive, 1 irreversible, 7 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://cazimi.live/api/mcp: tools/list returned 15 tools to an anonymous client, including void_of_course (destructive), ephemeris_range (irreversible), is_mercury_retrograde (write), retrograde_planets_today (write), is_planet_retrograde (write) and 4 more
```

Posture changes:
