## Exfil surface

4 private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound paths in this server alone. Denying 1 private-data tool breaks every one: `mcp__courio__get_coverage`.

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

| Private data | Untrusted input | Outbound |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `mcp__courio__get_coverage` | `mcp__courio__get_coverage` | `mcp__courio__quote_letter` |
| `mcp__courio__get_coverage` | `mcp__courio__get_coverage` | `mcp__courio__send_letter` |
| `mcp__courio__get_coverage` | `mcp__courio__send_letter` | `mcp__courio__quote_letter` |
| `mcp__courio__get_coverage` | `mcp__courio__send_letter` | `mcp__courio__send_letter` |

## Findings

- **info** The word "credentials" in `get_letter_status` ([credentials-mention](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#credentials-mention))

```untrusted-server-text
The description mentions "credential".

description: "...account is needed; the letter_id is the credential. Recipient details are partially redact..."
```


## Can't be undone (2)

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

### `quote_letter`

- The input addresses people (input.recipient): what it sends cannot be taken back.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a destination (input.recipient): what the tool writes goes there.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Prices a physical letter (printed, enveloped and posted by Courio) and returns a quote_id. Free and commits to nothing: no account, no payment, nothing is mailed. Give the service level, sender and recipient postal addresses, and the document (pdf_base64, pdf_url, or plain/markdown text). The price is in EUR including VAT (set currency to "USD" to also see a USD price), fixed for 24 hours. The document is checked and content-moderated; a problem comes back as an error with a hint. Quotes are capped per day (limit_exceeded with retry_after): reuse a quote_id rather than re-quoting. Service levels: "standard" (ordinary mail, no proof), "tracked" (tracking only), "registered" (registered mail: proof of deposit), "registered_ar" (registered with acknowledgement of receipt: proof of delivery, the one to use for legal notices). Rest-of-world letters may be handled manually, with a longer delay (see estimated_delivery_days and fulfillment). Next step: show the price, the legal product and the terms of sale (terms_url) to the human, then call send_letter if they agree.
```

### `send_letter`

- The name "send_letter" says "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Tag outbound: The name "send_letter" says "send": it sends or publishes something to other people. The input takes a URL (input.webhook_url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Creates the letter for a quote and returns a payment link (Stripe Checkout). No account is needed. YOU CANNOT PAY: show the price and the payment link to the human and ask them to open it and pay. The letter is mailed right after payment and cannot be cancelled or recalled once paid, so paying is the point of no return: make sure the human has seen the price, the recipient and the document first. Calling it again with the same quote_id returns the same letter and link (or its current status once it has been paid). The link expires after about 24 hours. Optionally pass webhook_url (public https) to be notified of status changes. Poll get_letter_status to follow the letter. Autonomous agents that can sign crypto payments can instead pay with x402 through the REST API (POST /v1/letters with payment_method "x402", which may be disabled on this deployment: 422 payment_method_unavailable); official x402 clients cap a payment at $1 by default, so raise the spend limit to cover the quoted price first.
```

## Only reads (2)

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

### `get_coverage`

- The name "get_coverage" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "list" and "mail": it reads mail.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "list" and "mail": it reads inbound email, which other people can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Lists which destination countries and service levels Courio can mail a physical paper letter to, with an indicative "from" price (EUR including VAT, 1 black-and-white page), typical delivery time and the legal product name. No account or API key is needed. Call it before quote_letter to check a destination is served; pass a country (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, e.g. "DE") to narrow the answer. Rest-of-world destinations may be handled manually, with a longer delay. Service levels: "standard" (ordinary mail, no proof), "tracked" (tracking only), "registered" (registered mail: proof of deposit), "registered_ar" (registered with acknowledgement of receipt: proof of delivery, the one to use for legal notices).
```

### `get_letter_status`

- The name "get_letter_status" says "get": a word for reading.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Returns the current status of a letter (awaiting_payment, paid, submitted, in_transit, delivered, failed, expired, ...), its timeline and, once available, proof links (proof of deposit for "registered", proof of delivery for "registered_ar"). No account is needed; the letter_id is the credential. Recipient details are partially redacted unless the request carries the API key that created the letter.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__courio__get_coverage",
      "mcp__courio__get_letter_status"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__courio__quote_letter",
      "mcp__courio__send_letter"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

Capability tags behind the rules (a read tagged outbound is asked about):

- `mcp__courio__get_coverage`: private-data, untrusted-input
- `mcp__courio__quote_letter`: outbound
- `mcp__courio__send_letter`: untrusted-input, outbound
