## Exfil surface

No private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data.

| 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__tpsclear__buy_credits` `mcp__tpsclear__check_dead_numbers` `mcp__tpsclear__screen_numbers` `mcp__tpsclear__wash_au_numbers` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | `mcp__tpsclear__check_dead_numbers` `mcp__tpsclear__screen_numbers` `mcp__tpsclear__wash_au_numbers` |

## Findings

- **warn** Annotations that disagree with the tool in `buy_credits` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "buy_credits" as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false), and its words say it reads.

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":false,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":false,"openWorldHint":true}; The description's first verb is "return": a word for reading.
```


## Changes things (5)

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

### `buy_credits`

- The description's first verb is "return": a word for reading.
- The server marks it as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false).
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The description's first sentence says "return" and "url": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Returns a Stripe Checkout URL for a prepaid pack, bound to this key's account. A person pays it by card; the credits land on the account once paid, and nothing is charged until then. Needs a live key on a self-serve account that names its client business. Prices are in minor units in the response. Packs: pack-1k: TPSClear UK API credits (1,000 checks), £9.00 ex VAT; pack-10k: TPSClear UK API credits (10,000 checks), £49.00 ex VAT; pack-50k: TPSClear UK API credits (50,000 checks), £179.00 ex VAT; au_100: TPSClear Australian DNCR washes (100), A$4.00 ex VAT; au_250: TPSClear Australian DNCR washes (250), A$9.00 ex VAT; au_500: TPSClear Australian DNCR washes (500), A$14.00 ex VAT; au_1000: TPSClear Australian DNCR washes (1,000), A$24.00 ex VAT; au_2500: TPSClear Australian DNCR washes (2,500), A$48.00 ex VAT; au_5000: TPSClear Australian DNCR washes (5,000), A$85.00 ex VAT; au_10000: TPSClear Australian DNCR washes (10,000), A$145.00 ex VAT; au_25000: TPSClear Australian DNCR washes (25,000), A$310.00 ex VAT; au_50000: TPSClear Australian DNCR washes (50,000), A$600.00 ex VAT; au_100000: TPSClear Australian DNCR washes (100,000), A$1170.00 ex VAT; dn_100: TPSClear dead number checks (100), £1.00 ex VAT; dn_250: TPSClear dead number checks (250), £2.50 ex VAT; dn_500: TPSClear dead number checks (500), £5.00 ex VAT.
```

### `check_dead_numbers`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a destination (input.phone_numbers): what the tool writes goes there.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Live mobile network (HLR) lookups: whether each mobile is live, switched off or dead. Live key only. One prepaid dead number check per mobile, two for a US number; numbers that are not mobiles and invalid numbers cost nothing. Same as POST /v1/dead-number.
```

### `screen_numbers`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a destination (input.phone_numbers): what the tool writes goes there.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Screen UK phone numbers against the TPS and CTPS registers before calling. Each result is clean, tps-listed, ctps-listed, unknown, suppressed or consented. A live key draws prepaid UK credits (one per distinct valid number); a test key returns fixtures at no cost. Same as POST /v1/screen.
```

### `set_company_name`

- The name "set_company_name" says "set": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Set the legal name of the business this account screens numbers for (PATCH /v1/me). Required before a live key can screen. Voll Studios Ltd, the company behind TPSClear, is licensed by the DMA as a TPS and CTPS list cleaner. The licence requires a monthly declaration naming each client, so a live API key must belong to an account that names the business it screens numbers for.
```

### `wash_au_numbers`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a destination (input.phone_numbers): what the tool writes goes there.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Wash Australian phone numbers against the Do Not Call Register. Live key only (the register has no test mode). One prepaid AU wash per distinct valid number; invalid numbers cost nothing and numbers the register gave no answer for are refunded. Same as POST /v1/dncr.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `get_account`

- The name "get_account" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The calling key and its account: environment, scopes, company name and whether one is still required (GET /v1/me), plus the UK credits left (GET /v1/usage), the Australian washes left (GET /v1/dncr) and the dead number checks left (GET /v1/dead-number). A balance the key lacks the scope for comes back as that error. Costs nothing.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__tpsclear__get_account"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__tpsclear__screen_numbers",
      "mcp__tpsclear__wash_au_numbers",
      "mcp__tpsclear__check_dead_numbers",
      "mcp__tpsclear__set_company_name",
      "mcp__tpsclear__buy_credits"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__tpsclear__screen_numbers`: untrusted-input, outbound
- `mcp__tpsclear__wash_au_numbers`: untrusted-input, outbound
- `mcp__tpsclear__check_dead_numbers`: untrusted-input, outbound
- `mcp__tpsclear__buy_credits`: 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://tpsclear.co.uk/api/mcp: tools/list returned 6 tools to an anonymous client, including screen_numbers (write), wash_au_numbers (write), check_dead_numbers (write), set_company_name (write), buy_credits (write)
