## 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__dev-security__crate_stats` `mcp__dev-security__cve_lookup` `mcp__dev-security__npm_stats` `mcp__dev-security__pypi_stats` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | none |

## Only reads (4)

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

### `crate_stats`

- The description's first verb is "get": 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
Get download statistics and metadata for a Rust crate from crates.io. Returns total and recent download counts along with the latest version number. (cost: 1 credit)
```

### `cve_lookup`

- The name "cve_lookup" says "lookup": 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
Details of one specific CVE by its ID (e.g., CVE-2021-44228). Returns the vulnerability description, CVSS score, severity, published/modified dates, weakness type (CWE), and reference links for fixes or advisories from the NIST National Vulnerability Database. (cost: 1 credit)
```

### `npm_stats`

- The description's first verb is "get": 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
Get download statistics for a JavaScript package on the npm registry. Returns the total download count for the last week to gauge popularity and usage trends. (cost: 1 credit)
```

### `pypi_stats`

- The description's first verb is "get": 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
Get download statistics for a Python package from PyPI. Returns recent download counts for the last day, week, and month to measure library adoption. (cost: 1 credit)

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__dev-security__cve_lookup",
      "mcp__dev-security__npm_stats",
      "mcp__dev-security__pypi_stats",
      "mcp__dev-security__crate_stats"
    ],
    "ask": [],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__dev-security__cve_lookup`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__dev-security__npm_stats`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__dev-security__pypi_stats`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__dev-security__crate_stats`: untrusted-input
