Tools listed without sign-in. Remote posture
With Anlyon
4 tools here change things. Govern them.
- Anlyon lists the tools and adopts none.
- Each tool you adopt gets approvals and receipts.
- Your agent never holds the key.
A tool your agent calls directly is not routed through Anlyon and is not governed by it. anlyon.dev only lists and labels, and these labels are the same either way.
What the UK Data: Sanctions screening MCP server can do
The UK Data: Sanctions screening MCP server is published by reliness.co.uk, a domain the MCP Registry verified. It has 8 tools. It can create or change data (4 tools: sanctions_screen, sanctions_check_person, sanctions_check_company and sanctions_check_ship), but cannot delete data. 4 tools only read.
8 tools bring in text other people can write (sanctions_screen, sanctions_check_person, sanctions_check_company and 5 more).
None of the fixed checks matched anything in its tool definitions. That is not a safety guarantee.
Its remote endpoint lists its tools without sign-in.
Last scanned Nov 7, 2026, version 1.5.0.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
Exfil surface
Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.
No private-data, untrusted-input, outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data or outbound.
- Reads private data0
- Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
- Reads text others write8
- Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
- Can send data out0
- Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.
Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.

The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 4 tools that change things (4 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.
What this check looks forMatched text
https://ukdata.reliness.co.uk/mcp/sanctions-screening: tools/list returned 8 tools to an anonymous client, including sanctions_screen (write), sanctions_check_person (write), sanctions_check_company (write), sanctions_check_ship (write)
