## Exfil surface

No private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data 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. | `mcp__games__find_game_by_description` |
| 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 (6)

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

### `game_facts`

- 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
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.
```

### `games_like`

- 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
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.
```

### `library_recs`

- 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
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.
```

### `new_releases`

- 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
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.
```

### `recommend`

- 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
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.
```

### `trending`

- 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
Steam games trending right now (imho.run/trending): `rising` = established games gaining reviews and players against their own recent baseline, `breakouts` = new games taking off. Each has reviews this week, growth in %, price, Steam Deck status and links. Use it for 'what's hot / popular right now on Steam'; for new releases use new_releases, for games like a given game use games_like. Games rated for adults only (explicit sexual content) are not covered; filtering is best effort.
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `find_game_by_description`

- The name "find_game_by_description" says "find": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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.
```

### `search_games`

- The name "search_games" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

      "mcp__games__trending",
      "mcp__games__new_releases"
    ],
    "deny": []

```untrusted-server-text
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.

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
