## 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__weather-observations__metar_history` `mcp__weather-observations__metar_latest` `mcp__weather-observations__pireps_near_airport` `mcp__weather-observations__taf_forecast` |
| 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 (4)

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

### `metar_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
Every METAR observation for one airport over the last N hours (up to 30 days), decoded and oldest first, plus a summary of the high and low temperature, strongest gust, flight-category low point and the weather reported. For checking what actually happened at a station: rain, gusts, fog, when it cleared. Source: NOAA/NWS Aviation Weather Center. The API returns at most 400 reports per call (about 8 days at half-hourly stations); not for flight planning. (cost: 1 credit)
```

### `metar_latest`

- 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
What the weather is right now at one or more airports: the latest official METAR observation decoded into temperature (C and F), dew point, humidity, wind and gusts, visibility, cloud and ceiling, pressure and flight category. Answers "what is the temperature at Heathrow right now" with the actual station reading, not a model forecast. Source: NOAA/NWS Aviation Weather Center (worldwide airports). Only stations that reported in the last 2 hours are returned; not for flight planning. (cost: 1 credit)
```

### `pireps_near_airport`

- 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
Recent pilot reports (PIREPs) within a distance of an airport: turbulence and icing with intensity, altitude, aircraft type and time, plus a tally of how many reports found none, light, moderate or severe turbulence. PIREPs are the only first-hand reports of turbulence actually encountered, so they answer "is it bumpy around Denver right now" for pilots and nervous flyers. Source: NOAA/NWS Aviation Weather Center; coverage is mainly the United States. Reports are sparse and individual; not for flight planning. (cost: 1 credit)
```

### `taf_forecast`

- 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
The current Terminal Aerodrome Forecast (TAF) for an airport: the official 24-30 hour forecast for wind, visibility, weather and cloud at the airfield, decoded into time blocks with plain-English change types (temporary, becoming, 30% chance). Answers "will it be foggy or windy at the airport tomorrow morning". Source: NOAA/NWS Aviation Weather Center (worldwide airports that issue TAFs). Covers the airfield only, not the route; not for flight planning. (cost: 1 credit)
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__weather-observations__metar_latest",
      "mcp__weather-observations__metar_history",
      "mcp__weather-observations__taf_forecast",
      "mcp__weather-observations__pireps_near_airport"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__weather-observations__metar_latest`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__weather-observations__metar_history`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__weather-observations__taf_forecast`: untrusted-input
- `mcp__weather-observations__pireps_near_airport`: untrusted-input

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-11-14T12:24:13.166Z, unchanged since 2026-11-07T05:22:52.766Z. No credentials were sent and no tool was called. Values are shown as the endpoint returned them. Method: https://anlyon.dev/methodology#remote-posture

| HTTP status of an anonymous initialize | `200` |
| tools/list served without credentials | `yes` |

- **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 4 tools that change things (4 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://ukdata.reliness.co.uk/mcp/weather-observations: tools/list returned 4 tools to an anonymous client, including metar_latest (write), metar_history (write), taf_forecast (write), pireps_near_airport (write)
