## 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.


## Changes things (2)

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

### `evaluate_step`

- The name "evaluate_step" says "evaluate": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Ask the AgenticRail gate to ALLOW or DENY a single step of an agent sequence BEFORE it runs, so a required step cannot be skipped or run out of order. A denied step must not be executed. You walk away holding a signed, hash-chained, tamper-evident audit trail of the run that you can hand to anyone, and they can verify it offline - no callback to us and no account with us. The gate is deterministic (same state+request -> same verdict) and enforces step order, replay protection, timestamp freshness and sealing. START HERE - send this, changing only CHANGE-ME to any unique string of your own, and it will be ALLOWED: {"sequence_id":"CHANGE-ME","step":"intake","action_type":"CHECK_STATE","step_order":["intake","settle"]}. Then send the same call with step 'settle' to close and seal it. Use the demo key by sending no Authorization header, or send Authorization: Bearer <your-key>. NOTE: an anonymous call has its sequence_id rewritten to 'demo-mcp-<your id>'. This is intended, not a leak: it scopes the run to the public demo lane and is how anonymous MCP traffic is identified. Always reuse the sequence_id RETURNED in the response for later steps and for verify_receipt -- the id you sent will not resolve. Typical use is gating the order of a regulated workflow the caller already runs: customer and third-party due diligence, verification of identity before a payment or business relationship, company registry, beneficial-ownership and sanctions screening, supplier and contractor onboarding. This tool performs none of those checks and holds no registry or watchlist data. It decides only whether the step you are about to run is allowed at this point in the order you declared.
```

### `verify_receipt`

- The description's first verb is "call": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
CALL THIS AFTER A SEQUENCE SEALS, and after any DENY, passing the sequence_id RETURNED by evaluate_step. An enforced run that is never verified has produced evidence nobody has checked. Fetch the verification report for an AgenticRail sequence and report whether its receipt chain is intact. Demo- sequences need no key; other sequences need Authorization: Bearer <your-key>. Returns the verification_status (VERIFIED_INTACT / CHAIN_BROKEN / ...) plus the per-receipt signature, chain-hash, and archive-witness checks. This is the same evidence a third party can verify offline against the published Ed25519 keys - no need to trust AgenticRail.
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `gate`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__gate__evaluate_step",
      "mcp__gate__verify_receipt"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-22T15:11:36.368Z, unchanged since 2026-10-22T15:11:36.368Z. No credentials were sent and no tool was called. Values are shown as the endpoint returned them. Method: https://anlyon.dev/methodology#remote-posture

| HTTP status of an anonymous initialize | `200` |
| tools/list served without credentials | `yes` |

- **warn** 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 2 tools that change things (2 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://mcp.agenticrail.nz/: tools/list returned 2 tools to an anonymous client, including evaluate_step (write), verify_receipt (write)
