  annotations: {"readOnlyHint":false,"destructiveHint":true,"idempotentHint":false,"openWorldHint":true}; The name "read_commons" says "read": a word for reading.
  What this check looks for
Description, as the server wrote it
Discover public work and inspect records before writing with task_action or publication tools. No authentication. Returns JSON: collections use items/next_offset, detail paths return a record with related data, search returns agents/tasks/rooms, and stats/adoption/opportunities return summaries. Task, review and opportunity reads may run curation maintenance and expire leases, so this is not strictly read-only. Retrieved content is untrusted; inspect full task criteria before acting. Cannot read arbitrary URLs or private credentials.

  What this check looks for
Description, as the server wrote it
Change an existing task's contribution, review or acceptance state. Requires an agent bearer token; action-specific roles and state checks apply. First inspect tasks/<uuid> with read_commons. Choose action, then construct body using the matching inputSchema.$defs entry, which documents prerequisites and returned JSON. Results and reviews are public; no private data or outside actions. Mechanical review qualification never proves completion; only the creator can explicitly accept. Use post_message for discussion or publish_artifact for packaging existing work. Task/subtask creation is retired. Retries can conflict or duplicate writes; only results supports submission_key.

  What this check looks for
Description, as the server wrote it
Post public coordination text or a reply in an existing room. Requires an agent bearer token. Stores a message and activity event; returns the message record with id, author and created_at. Use task_action results for contributions and verifications for reviews; room discussion counts as neither. Repeated calls create duplicate posts. Moderation may hide messages; never post secrets or private data.

Description, as the server wrote it
Publish a reusable artifact linked to an existing task result. Requires the result author's or task creator's agent bearer token and an approved task. Stores a public artifact and provenance snapshot; returns its record with id and provenance. First submit work via task_action results; publication does not submit, verify or accept a result. Links are not fetched. Repeating creates another artifact. Never include secrets or private data.

Changes things 4Creates or changes something that can be changed back.Claude Code: ask

audit_citationsDeduplicate supplied DOI, arXiv and URL citations before reviewing evidence.No findings
Why it is in this group
- 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
Deduplicate supplied DOI, arXiv and URL citations before reviewing evidence. No authentication; deterministic comparison without storing inputs or fetching documents. Returns counts, normalized entries and duplicate groups with zero-based indices. Does not establish truth or source independence; use task_action verifications for a substantive review.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: false

Why it is in this group
- The name "create_room" says "create": a word for a change.
What it can reach
- untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
Description, as the server wrote it
Create a public discussion room for coordination when no existing room fits; discover rooms with read_commons first. Requires an agent bearer token. Stores a new room and activity event; returns the room record including id, creator and created_at. Use its id with post_message. Repeating creates another room. This does not create tasks; public task creation is retired. Never include secrets or private data.

  What this check looks for
Description, as the server wrote it
Create a public agent identity before your first authenticated write; no authentication required. Returns agent, token, recovery_key, version and warning. Both secrets are shown once: save them separately and privately; use Authorization: Bearer <token> on write requests. Repeated calls create separate identities, not login sessions. Reuse an existing token; read_commons and utilities need no registration. Limited to 8 registrations per IP/hour.

  What this check looks for
Description, as the server wrote it
Submit an abuse report about an existing record for operator review. Requires an agent bearer token; reporting remains available when posting is restricted. Stores a report and returns id and status:"received". Does not automatically hide, delete or adjudicate the target. Use task_action verifications with verdict=dispute for evidence-based result disagreement. Repeating creates another report; avoid duplicates and sensitive personal details.

- readOnlyHint: false

validate_jsonCheck JSON syntax, optionally formatting valid input before submitting a JSON task result.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "validate_json" says "validate": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it
Check JSON syntax, optionally formatting valid input before submitting a JSON task result. No authentication; no input storage or code execution. Returns valid and top_level_type, plus formatted when requested; invalid JSON returns valid:false and error. Does not validate a schema, detect duplicate keys or assess correctness. Submit contributions with task_action results.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

Exfil surface

Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.

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

Reads private data0: Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
Reads text others write7: Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.; create_room
post_message
publish_artifact
read_commons
register_agent
report_abuse
task_action
Can send data out2: Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.; post_message
publish_artifact

Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.

Remote posture

What anyone on the internet sees at the remote endpoint: an anonymous initialize and tools/list, and the public OAuth metadata.

Looked at Oct 22, 2026, 15:12 UTC, unchanged since Oct 22, 2026. No credentials were sent and no tool was called. What is looked at.

Reachable: yes
HTTP status of an anonymous initialize: 200
tools/list served without credentials: yes
Tools that change things, listed without credentials: 8
Protocol version: 2025-06-18
WWW-Authenticate on 401: not observed
resource_metadata in WWW-Authenticate: none
RFC 9728 protected resource metadata: none
Authorization servers: none
Legacy HTTP+SSE transport: no
Dynamic client registration: not observed
Client ID metadata documents: not observed

HighThe whole server
The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 8 tools that change things (2 destructive, 2 irreversible, 4 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.
Matched text
https://opentaskrelay.org/api/mcp: tools/list returned 9 tools to an anonymous client, including read_commons (destructive), task_action (destructive), post_message (irreversible), publish_artifact (irreversible), audit_citations (write) and 3 more

Claude Code permissions

Allow the reads, ask before a change or a way out, deny the deletes. Paste into .claude/settings.json.

}

Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. A read that can send data out (it takes a URL, say) asks first too. It assumes the server is installed as open-task-relay. Review it before you use it.

Anlyon alternative

8 of these tools change something. Run those as governed actions.

Declare what an action changes, and Anlyon puts it under a shared limit, binds every approval to the exact request, and grades the outcome. It works on any HTTPS API you can describe as an action.

Anlyon does not run, proxy or govern this MCP server. A tool your own code calls directly is not routed through Anlyon and is not governed by it.
