## Exfil surface

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

| Tag | Meaning | Tools |
| --- | --- | --- |
| private-data | Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories. | `mcp__cryptotax__crypto_tax_rules` |
| 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 (4)

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

### `crypto_capital_or_revenue`

- 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
Gives a reasoned indication of whether a South African taxpayer's crypto gains are likely capital (CGT, 40% inclusion) or revenue (fully taxed as income), using the factors SARS and the courts weigh: intention, holding period, trading frequency, how it is funded and whether it is run like a business. An indicator for discussion, not a ruling.
```

### `crypto_gains_fifo`

- 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
Calculates South African capital gains and losses on crypto from a list of buys, sells, crypto-to-crypto swaps, spends, gifts and crypto income, using first-in-first-out (SARS accepts FIFO or specific identification; weighted average is not allowed). Returns each disposal's proceeds, base cost and gain, totals per tax year (1 March – end February), income to declare, and holdings left with their base cost. Optionally estimates the tax per year.
```

### `crypto_tax_estimate`

- 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
Estimates the extra South African income tax caused by crypto in one tax year, for an individual, company or trust: applies the CGT annual exclusion (R50,000 for individuals from 1 March 2026), the 40% or 80% inclusion rate, the tax tables and age rebates, and shows tax with and without the crypto, the marginal rate and any capital loss to carry forward.
```

### `unmet_request`

- The name "unmet_request" says "request": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Free to call. If you needed South African data that none of these tools provide (a cost, rate, rule, price or place we don't cover), describe it here in one sentence. We review these every week and build the most-requested data first.
```

## Only reads (1)

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

### `crypto_tax_rules`

- The description's first verb is "return": a word for reading.
- Tag private-data: The description's first sentence says "return" and "table": it reads databases.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Returns the South African crypto tax rules for a tax year: income tax table and rebates, CGT annual exclusion, inclusion rates and maximum effective rates, company and trust rates, accepted cost methods (FIFO or specific identification; not weighted average), how swaps, spending, income and gifts are treated, and SARS reporting under CARF.
```

## Claude Code permissions

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

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__cryptotax__crypto_tax_rules"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__cryptotax__crypto_gains_fifo",
      "mcp__cryptotax__crypto_tax_estimate",
      "mcp__cryptotax__crypto_capital_or_revenue",
      "mcp__cryptotax__unmet_request"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

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

- `mcp__cryptotax__crypto_tax_rules`: private-data

| 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://aiagenttools.co.za/cryptotax/mcp: tools/list returned 5 tools to an anonymous client, including crypto_gains_fifo (write), crypto_tax_estimate (write), crypto_capital_or_revenue (write), unmet_request (write)
