## 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__vehicles__nl_vehicle` `mcp__vehicles__uk_mileage_check` `mcp__vehicles__uk_mot_history` `mcp__vehicles__uk_vehicle` `mcp__vehicles__vin_decode` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | none |

## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (5)

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

### `nl_vehicle`

- 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
Dutch number plate (kenteken) lookup from the Dutch vehicle authority RDW: make, model, body, colour, doors, seats, engine, power, fuel, CO2, weights, towing, original list price, first registration, MOT (APK) expiry, insured, open recall, odometer verdict. (cost: 20 credits)
```

### `uk_mileage_check`

- 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
Checks whether a UK car's recorded mileage ever went backwards between MOT tests (a sign of clocking), with the latest reading and the number of readings, from official DVSA MOT records. (cost: 10 credits)
```

### `uk_mot_history`

- 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
Full MOT test history for a UK number plate from DVSA: every test date, pass or fail, expiry, recorded mileage, and each failure, advisory and dangerous defect. For checking a used car before buying or when the next MOT is due. (cost: 10 credits)
```

### `uk_vehicle`

- 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
UK number plate lookup from official DVSA MOT records: make, model, colour, fuel, engine size, first registration date, MOT expiry, outstanding recall flag, latest mileage, and the full MOT test history with failures and advisories. Does not include road tax status. Cars under 3 years old have no MOT history yet. (cost: 10 credits)
```

### `vin_decode`

- 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
Decode a VIN (vehicle identification number): make, model, year, trim, body, doors, engine, transmission, drive, fuel, seats, plant, airbags and driver-assist kit (NHTSA vPIC). Fullest for North American vehicles. (cost: 5 credits)
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `vehicles`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__vehicles__nl_vehicle",
      "mcp__vehicles__vin_decode",
      "mcp__vehicles__uk_vehicle",
      "mcp__vehicles__uk_mot_history",
      "mcp__vehicles__uk_mileage_check"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__vehicles__nl_vehicle`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__vehicles__vin_decode`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__vehicles__uk_vehicle`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__vehicles__uk_mot_history`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__vehicles__uk_mileage_check`: untrusted-input

- **warn** Tools that change things, listed to anyone ([unauth-remote-writes](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#unauth-remote-writes))

```untrusted-server-text
The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 5 tools that change things (5 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://ukdata.reliness.co.uk/mcp/vehicles: tools/list returned 5 tools to an anonymous client, including nl_vehicle (write), vin_decode (write), uk_vehicle (write), uk_mot_history (write), uk_mileage_check (write)
