Read-only MCP servers

1,620 MCP servers declare tools that only read: none of their tools is classed write or destructive. That makes them the safest place to start giving an agent access. Read-only describes the tools, not the code, so the audit verdict still decides whether to connect one.

Questions

What does read-only mean here?
A server is listed here when its source declares at least one tool and every tool is classed read: no write tools and no destructive tools.
Is a read-only server always safe?
No. 913 are SAFE, 261 CAUTION and 446 BLOCK on this list. A tool list says what the tools do, not whether the surrounding code is clean, so a read-only server can still be BLOCK.
Why are some servers on no risk list?
615 servers declare no tools we can read, because they build the list at runtime. They cannot be called read-only, so they appear on none of the risk hubs.
