## Exfil surface

No private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data or untrusted-input 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. | none |
| 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 (1)

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

### `about_unfrozen`

- 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
Who Gabriel Lopez is (public facts from unfreeze.us/about/), how Atlas studies are graded, how to cite the Atlas and its license, and the paid Change Check-up booking link.
```

## Only reads (4)

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

### `get_answer`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Match a question about middle managers and change to the closest of the Atlas's fact-checked answer pages (deterministic keyword matching, no AI). Returns the answer text exactly as published, its graded sources and the page URL. If no page fits well, it says so and returns links to Ask the Atlas and the Atlas instead of guessing.
```

### `get_study`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
One Atlas study record by its slug (from search_studies, e.g. "huy-2011") or its DOI: citation, design, setting, strength grade and what it means, Loop parts with verdicts, whether it is about change, Unfrozen's plain-language summary, related studies, the answer pages that cite it, and its unfreeze.us page.
```

### `list_loop_parts`

- The name "list_loop_parts" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The parts of the Unfrozen Loop, a working model for leading change from the middle, each with a one-line description, how many Atlas studies inform it (supporting, mixed, challenging) and its unfreeze.us page.
```

### `search_studies`

- The name "search_studies" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search the Atlas of the Middle (173 studies on middle managers and change, each with a strength grade and Unfrozen's plain-language summary). Matches words in the title, summary, setting, authors and journal. Returns each study's label, year, journal, design, grade, Loop parts, one-line summary and its unfreeze.us page. Filter by Loop part or grade.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__atlas__search_studies",
      "mcp__atlas__get_study",
      "mcp__atlas__get_answer",
      "mcp__atlas__list_loop_parts"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__atlas__about_unfrozen"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-31T23:20:05.860Z, unchanged since 2026-10-31T23:20:05.860Z. No credentials were sent and no tool was called. Values are shown as the endpoint returned them. Method: https://anlyon.dev/methodology#remote-posture

| Fact | Observed |

| Reachable | `yes` |
| HTTP status of an anonymous initialize | `200` |
| tools/list served without credentials | `yes` |
| Tools that change things, listed without credentials | `1` |
| Protocol version | `2025-06-18` |
| WWW-Authenticate on 401 | `not observed` |

| RFC 9728 protected resource metadata | `none` |
| Authorization servers | `none` |
| Legacy HTTP+SSE transport | `no` |
| Dynamic client registration | `not observed` |
| Client ID metadata documents | `not observed` |

- **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 1 tool that changes things (1 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://unfreeze.us/mcp: tools/list returned 5 tools to an anonymous client, including about_unfrozen (write)
