All limitations / Review context

Are sandbox limits and sensitive document transmission boundaries explicit as OCR pricing and transports evolve?

The bounded review of the publisher's documented Identity-document and MRZ OCR through doc.cheap and release notices identified no disclosed material condition preventing an accurately scoped public tracking entry. The resource's operational permissions remain uncertainty; this assessment does not certify installation safety.

Processes highly sensitive identity documents; restrict inputs and retention.
Use dedicated local image directories and do not log document images or API keys.
OCR submission, balance and account-retained scan access.
API key when account-backed.
Images are held in memory for a request and sent to doc.cheap; structured results can be retained according to request/account settings.
Reviewed write actions: Create billed scan result; Permanently delete retained scan
Sensitive access: Passports/IDs/licences, DOB/document numbers/MRZ
Installation, client compatibility and comprehensive security have not been independently audited. Authentication and access depend on the configured services.
Runtime behavior, dependencies and undisclosed vulnerabilities were not independently audited.
Documented tool authority and any remote data handling must be checked before installation or use.
Tool inventory, client matrix and permissions completeness were not requirements for this Radar tracking review.

Remove / uninstall / revoke
MCP100 setup guide
For a Claude Code registration named `doc-cheap-mcp`, run `claude mcp remove doc-cheap-mcp`; otherwise remove the exact entry in the chosen MCP client settings and restart/reconnect. This client-host removal command is MCP100-composed from Claude Code lifecycle documentation, not a vendor-authored uninstall. With `npx`, a separate global package uninstall normally is unnecessary. Do not delete provider data or credentials by default.
Client unregister, package uninstall, data deletion, and OAuth/API token/wallet permissions are distinct.
