    • 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
    Public facts about one Steam game: year, developers, genres, top tags, price, Steam Deck status, review numbers, a review-mined summary and links. For a few single-player games, `coop_via_mod` names a reviewed fan mod for co-op, with caveats. Use it to answer questions about a game the user names; for similar games use games_like or recommend. Games rated for adults only (explicit sexual content) are not covered; filtering is best effort.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Steam games similar to ONE game, ranked by imho.run's recommender (the list on that game's imho.run page), each with a one-line reason, price, Steam Deck status, year, review numbers, the imho.run page URL and the Steam URL. Use it for 'games like X', optionally only free, co-op or Steam Deck games. Use `recommend` instead when the user names 2-3 games, wants other filters (no PvP, no microtransactions, release years, niche) or describes what they want in words. Games rated for adults only (explicit sexual content) are not covered; filtering is best effort.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Steam games for a player, ranked against their own public Steam library (what they play most), the way imho.run's library mode does it; owned games are left out. Use it when the user gives their Steam profile and wants picks for their taste in general; for 'games like X' use games_like or recommend. Takes a SteamID64 or a steamcommunity.com/profiles/<SteamID64> link (not a custom /id/ name) and works only for public profiles imho.run already has; otherwise it returns one 'unavailable' error with a link the user can open to paste their profile. Each pick names the most-played game it is closest to (`similar_to`). Games rated for adults only (explicit sexual content) are not covered; filtering is best effort.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Games released on Steam in the last 30 days that players rate well (70%+ positive, 50+ positive reviews), or with `upcoming` the upcoming games that have a release date; optionally co-op only. The site's New releases list, with price, Steam Deck status, release date and links. Released games carry `release_kind`: `new`, or `ea_exit` for a game that just left Early Access (its 1.0; it was playable before), so call those 'out of Early Access', not new. `ea_exits`: include (default), exclude (brand-new games only) or only. Use it for 'what's new / coming out'; for what is gaining players now use trending. Games rated for adults only (explicit sexual content) are not covered; filtering is best effort.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Steam games for someone who likes 1-3 given games, ranked by imho.run's recommender: the list imho.run's own tool shows for those games and filters. Use it instead of games_like when the user names several games, wants filters beyond free / co-op / Steam Deck (no PvP, no microtransactions, no grind, not too hard, no Early Access, release years, more niche or more popular), or says what they want in words: pass that as `preferences` ('cozy base building, no combat'); the result says which Steam tags it was read as. When the user reacts to the picks, call it again with `liked` / `disliked`: liked games join the seeds, disliked ones never come back. Each pick has a one-line reason naming the seed it is closest to (`similar_to`), price, Steam Deck status, year, reviews, the imho.run URL and the Steam URL, plus `tool_url` (these games in imho.run's tool). Not for naming a game from a description (find_game_by_description) or facts about one game (game_facts). Games rated for adults only (explicit sexual content) are not covered; filtering is best effort.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Identify a game from a description of what the user remembers (plot, look, platform, era). Returns ranked candidates with a reason each, a `confidence`, and `find_game_url`: imho.run's /find-game page with the description filled in (the user presses the button; nothing runs by itself). Pass what the user said about the platform, the release years and the camera as `platform`, `year_min` / `year_max` and `perspective` instead of leaving them only in the text. When `confidence` is not high or no result fits, give the user `find_game_url` so they can add details there. Slow (LLM) and rate-limited: use it only when the user does not know the title; for games similar to a known game use games_like or recommend. Games rated for adults only (explicit sexual content) are not covered; filtering is best effort.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Find Steam games by title (typos, partial names, Russian names and acronyms are fine): appid, year, imho.run page and Steam link for each match. Use it to check which game the user means or to get an appid; the other tools also accept names directly. For a game the user can only describe, use find_game_by_description. Games rated for adults only (explicit sexual content) are not covered; filtering is best effort.

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 or outbound.

Reads private data0
Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
Reads text others write1
Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
Can send data out0
Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.

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

  • WarnThe whole server

    The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 6 tools that change things (6 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

    Matched text

    https://imho.run/mcp: tools/list returned 8 tools to an anonymous client, including games_like (write), recommend (write), library_recs (write), game_facts (write), trending (write) and 1 more

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 games. Review it before you use it.
