Rat Radar
Ask before you scrape: is a site open, may I fetch this URL, and how do I extract a page. No key.

## Exfil surface

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

| 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__rat-radar__can_fetch` `mcp__rat-radar__check_site` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | `mcp__rat-radar__can_fetch` `mcp__rat-radar__xray_diagram` `mcp__rat-radar__xray_page` |

## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (4)

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

### `check_site`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "scrape": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Can I scrape this site, and how? Returns a verdict (open, guarded, hostile, blocked), a hostility score, a recommended approach with steps and risks, bot protections, robots.txt and AI-crawler policy, machine-readable surfaces (sitemap, llms.txt, JSON-LD), and eu_ai_training: the signals the EDPB draft Guidelines 03/2026 on web scraping for generative AI count against collecting personal data (robots.txt, ai.txt, CAPTCHAs, login walls), as none, some or strong. Signals, not legal advice. Uses a weekly-probed dataset of several hundred sites; for any other domain it probes live from a datacenter IP.
```

### `summary`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Headline numbers across the dataset: verdict mix, how many sites block AI crawlers (and which), protection vendors, by category and country.
```

### `xray_diagram`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Draw a page's anatomy as an Excalidraw diagram: its regions, the ranked ways to get its data, proof rows, the best route and what the page is made of. Returns a download link for the .excalidraw file (give it to the user; it opens at excalidraw.com or in Obsidian) and a file_name. With include_scene, also the scene itself (a few hundred KB).
```

### `xray_page`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
How do I extract the data from THIS page? Fetches one public page and returns a ranked extraction plan: embedded JSON, JSON-LD, repeated records with CSS selectors and field names, tables, feeds, hidden API calls. Each source has a reliability, proof rows pulled from the real page, and the plan notes pagination and blockers. Set include_code for a starter Python script. Works on the raw HTML only, so JavaScript-built pages report a blocker instead of data. Use check_site first to learn whether the site allows scraping at all.
```

## Only reads (4)

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

### `can_fetch`

- The name "can_fetch" says "fetch": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "url": it reads web pages, which anyone can write. The input takes a URL (input.url), and the tool reads it: it reads web pages, which anyone can write.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.
- Claude Code: ask, because it is tagged outbound.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Does robots.txt allow fetching this exact URL? Fetches the live robots.txt and applies the longest-match rule for a user agent (default: * plus GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, CCBot, PerplexityBot). Returns allowed or not, the rule that decided it, and any crawl delay. A courtesy check, not a legal opinion.
```

### `get_playbook`

- The name "get_playbook" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
What should I build with this site, and how? Give a domain and, optionally, a goal in plain words (for example "price alerts", "sales leads", "new jobs", "change log", "knowledge base"). Returns the best-matching workflow for that site: what it does, its cadence, a trigger, collect, shape, store, act pipeline, the fields to keep, and step-by-step build recipes for n8n, Make, Zapier and Apify (or just one with platform). Workflows marked found_on_this_site come from what the weekly probe saw on the site itself. Also returns the other workflows, the golden data, and the guardrails.
```

### `list_sites`

- The name "list_sites" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the sites in the dataset, optionally by category or verdict. Use it to find easy targets or to see what is covered.
```

### `search_sites`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Find sites in the dataset by a word: a name, host, category (jobs, shop, news, gov), country or verdict. Use it to discover what is covered before calling check_site.
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `rat-radar`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__rat-radar__get_playbook",
      "mcp__rat-radar__list_sites",
      "mcp__rat-radar__search_sites"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__rat-radar__check_site",
      "mcp__rat-radar__xray_page",
      "mcp__rat-radar__xray_diagram",
      "mcp__rat-radar__can_fetch",
      "mcp__rat-radar__summary"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__rat-radar__check_site`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__rat-radar__xray_page`: outbound
- `mcp__rat-radar__xray_diagram`: outbound
- `mcp__rat-radar__can_fetch`: untrusted-input, outbound
