## 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__science-formulas__calculate_bacterial_growth` `mcp__science-formulas__calculate_cell_density` `mcp__science-formulas__calculate_electric_field` `mcp__science-formulas__calculate_final_velocity` `mcp__science-formulas__potential_energy` `mcp__science-formulas__project_population` `mcp__science-formulas__wire_resistance` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | none |

## Changes things (7)

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

### `calculate_bacterial_growth`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- 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
Calculates bacterial population after a given time using exponential growth formula: N(t) = N₀ × e^(rt) or N(t) = N₀ × 2^(t/doubling_time). (cost: 1 credit)
```

### `calculate_cell_density`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- 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
Calculates cell density (cells per mL) from optical density (OD) measurement and dilution factor. Formula: OD × dilution × factor (default 1e9 cells/mL per OD unit, organism-dependent). (cost: 1 credit)
```

### `calculate_electric_field`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- 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
Calculates the electric field strength produced by a point charge at a given distance using Coulomb's law: E = kQ/r². Uses permittivity parameter or defaults to vacuum permittivity. (cost: 1 credit)
```

### `calculate_final_velocity`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- 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
Calculates final velocity using the kinematic equation: v = v₀ + at, where v₀ is initial velocity, a is acceleration, and t is time. (cost: 1 credit)
```

### `potential_energy`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- 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
Calculates electrostatic potential energy using the formula U = qV, where U is energy, q is charge, and V is voltage. (cost: 1 credit)
```

### `project_population`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- 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
Projects future population size using exponential growth formula with a constant annual growth rate (percentage). (cost: 1 credit)
```

### `wire_resistance`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- 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
Calculates electrical resistance of a wire using the formula R = ρL/A, where R is resistance, ρ is material resistivity, L is length, and A is cross-sectional area. (cost: 1 credit)
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__science-formulas__project_population",
      "mcp__science-formulas__calculate_electric_field",

      "mcp__science-formulas__potential_energy",
      "mcp__science-formulas__wire_resistance"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

```untrusted-server-text
The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 7 tools that change things (7 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://ukdata.reliness.co.uk/mcp/science-formulas: tools/list returned 7 tools to an anonymous client, including project_population (write), calculate_electric_field (write), calculate_cell_density (write), calculate_bacterial_growth (write), calculate_final_velocity (write) and 2 more
