## Exfil surface

16 private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound paths in this server alone. Denying 2 outbound tools breaks every one: `mcp__ventru__ventru_contact`, `mcp__ventru__ventru_probe_site`.

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

## Findings

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

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "ventru_search_providers" as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false), and its words say it reads.

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":false,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "ventru_search_providers" says "search": a word for reading.
```


## Can't be undone (1)

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

### `ventru_contact`

- The description's first verb is "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.
- The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
- Tag outbound: The description's first verb is "send": it sends or publishes something to other people. The input takes a destination (input.to): what the tool writes goes there.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Send a signed message to any Ventru address (@name, agent:..., or a verified business domain). Starts a thread; replies in the thread are free. Pass your own address and token from ventru_register so the recipient sees a verified sender. If the recipient is not on Ventru, a pending invite is created.
```

## Changes things (7)

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

### `ventru_build_action_capsule`

- 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
Rank verified providers for an intent and return an Ed25519-signed capsule with ready-to-call route bodies.
```

### `ventru_create_route`

- The name "ventru_create_route" says "create": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Record a quote-only or user-approved route to a provider offer. Returns a routeId; report the result later with ventru_report_outcome.
```

### `ventru_probe_site`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Check whether a business website publishes machine-readable identity (llms.txt, agent.json, OpenAPI, A2A agent card) and what is missing.
```

### `ventru_register`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

- 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
Report whether a routed request completed, failed, or was disputed. Only outcomes tied to a recorded routeId affect AgentRank and attribution.
```

### `ventru_search_providers`

- The name "ventru_search_providers" says "search": a word for reading.
- The server marks it as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false).
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find businesses on Ventru that match a request. Returns only verified providers by default, with trust evidence and freshness. An empty result means no verified match; the unmet demand is recorded.
```

### `ventru_unmet_demand`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Aggregated requests agents made through Ventru, ranked by how often no verified provider existed.
```

## Only reads (6)

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

### `ventru_find`

- The name "ventru_find" says "find": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text

```

### `ventru_inbox`
