## Exfil surface

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

| Tag | Meaning | Tools |
| --- | --- | --- |
| private-data | Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories. | `mcp__postcodecontext__get_data_attribution` `mcp__postcodecontext__get_data_dictionary` |
| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | `mcp__postcodecontext__get_data_attribution` |
| 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 (2)

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

### `enrich_postcodes`

- 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.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Bulk demographic, economic, and spatial lookup for 1 to 50 Great Britain postcodes. Returns brief profile by default (~80 tokens per postcode) to prevent context blow-up; use view="full" when all 113 metrics are needed. Cost-effective for 6 to 50 postcodes ($0.050 flat fee). For 1 postcode use lookup_postcode ($0.005); for 2 to 5 postcodes use compare_postcodes ($0.010). Do not use when detailed side-by-side comparative rankings are required (use compare_postcodes).
```

### `screen_postcodes`

- 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.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Rank and screen 2 to 10 Great Britain postcodes by a specific target metric (affluence, house price, crime safety, broadband speed, family suitability, or connectivity). Returns a sorted leaderboard. For 11 to 50 postcodes use enrich_postcodes; for full cross-metric comparison of 2 to 5 postcodes use compare_postcodes.
```

## Only reads (8)

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

### `compare_postcodes`

- The name "compare_postcodes" says "compare": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Use when you need to directly contrast 2 to 5 Great Britain postcodes across affluence, safety, housing cost per m², broadband, and family suitability. Returns full profiles by default; use view="brief" (~80 tokens per postcode) to keep context compact alongside the comparison ranking. Do not use for single postcode inspection (use lookup_postcode) or bulk batches of >5 postcodes (use enrich_postcodes).
```

### `get_data_attribution`

- The name "get_data_attribution" says "get": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "mail": it reads mail.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "mail": it reads inbound email, which other people can write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
$0.00 USDC reference tool (no payment or authentication required; subject to Terms of Service): Retrieve official statutory attribution statements, Crown copyright notices, Royal Mail Gridlink sublicence details, and Open Government Licence v3.0 metadata across all 19 contributing data providers (ONS, OS, Royal Mail, HM Land Registry, Registers of Scotland, MHCLG, Ofcom, Scottish Government, Welsh Government, DfE, CQC, PHS, NWSSP, DfT, ORR).
```

### `get_data_dictionary`

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

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

Covers England, Scotland, and Wales.
```

### `get_postcode_ai_brief`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text

Returns full profile by default; use view="brief" (~80 tokens) for low-token, concise briefings when managing context budget. Do not use for non-GB postcodes (e.g. Northern Ireland BT) or when comparing multiple postcodes simultaneously (use compare_postcodes instead).
```

### `summarise_outcode`

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__postcodecontext__lookup_postcode",
      "mcp__postcodecontext__compare_postcodes",
      "mcp__postcodecontext__summarise_outcode",
      "mcp__postcodecontext__get_postcode_ai_brief",
      "mcp__postcodecontext__get_property_and_energy_profile",
      "mcp__postcodecontext__get_demographics_and_deprivation",
      "mcp__postcodecontext__get_data_dictionary",
      "mcp__postcodecontext__get_data_attribution"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__postcodecontext__enrich_postcodes",
      "mcp__postcodecontext__screen_postcodes"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__postcodecontext__get_data_dictionary`: private-data
- `mcp__postcodecontext__get_data_attribution`: private-data, untrusted-input

```untrusted-server-text
The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 2 tools that change things (2 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://api.postcodecontext.uk/mcp: tools/list returned 10 tools to an anonymous client, including enrich_postcodes (write), screen_postcodes (write)
