## 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__backfill-fetch__fetch_page` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | `mcp__backfill-fetch__extract_data` `mcp__backfill-fetch__fetch_page` |

## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

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

### `extract_data`

- 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
Extract structured data from a web page, returned as JSON matching a JSON Schema you supply, via Backfill Extract. The service fetches the URL (a plain fetch first, with escalation when the plain fetch returns a bot wall or a JavaScript shell) and extracts the data described by the schema. Extraction is always a paid call (x402, USDC on Base: $0.15 fresh, $0.05 for a cached result), so a call over MCP returns an error directing you to the paid HTTP API at POST https://backfill.top/v1/extract; payment is never attempted over MCP.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `fetch_page`

- The name "fetch_page" says "fetch": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "fetch" and "web": 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
Fetch a web page and return its readable content as clean markdown, via Backfill Fetch. The service fetches the URL (a plain fetch first, with escalation when the plain fetch returns a bot wall or a JavaScript shell) and extracts the content. Calls are answered free when the fetch is free — a plain fetch inside the daily allowance, or a cache hit inside the free cache allowance. When serving the page would require payment (x402, USDC on Base), the call returns an error directing you to the paid HTTP API at POST https://backfill.top/v1/fetch; payment is never attempted over MCP.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__backfill-fetch__fetch_page",
      "mcp__backfill-fetch__extract_data"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__backfill-fetch__fetch_page`: untrusted-input, outbound
- `mcp__backfill-fetch__extract_data`: outbound
