+# Verification Note: bf-3bhy6 - SSRF URL test cases for localhost and private IPs
+
+## Acceptance Criteria Status
+
+### ✅ PASS: 5 test functions exist, one per SSRF URL pattern
+All 5 required test functions are present in `crates/pdftract-core/tests/TH-05-ssrf-block.rs`:
+
+1. **IPv4 loopback** (`test_mcp_ipv4_loopback_rejected`, line 1873)
+   - URL: `http://127.0.0.1:9999/`
+   - Tests loopback address on non-standard port
+
+2. **IPv4 all interfaces** (`test_mcp_ipv4_all_interfaces_rejected`, line 1916)
+   - URL: `http://0.0.0.0/`
+   - Tests the "all interfaces" bind address
+
+3. **IPv6 loopback** (`test_mcp_ipv6_loopback_rejected`, line 1959)
+   - URL: `http://[::1]/`
+   - Tests IPv6 loopback with bracket notation
+
+4. **AWS metadata endpoint** (`test_mcp_aws_metadata_endpoint_rejected`, line 2002)
+   - URL: `http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/`
+   - Tests AWS IMDSv2 metadata endpoint
+
+5. **Private network** (`test_mcp_private_network_rejected`, line 2045)
+   - URL: `http://10.0.0.1/internal`
+   - Tests RFC 1918 private network (10.0.0.0/8)
+
+### ✅ PASS: Each test uses the JSON-RPC helper correctly
+All tests use the `extract_call()` helper from the `mcp_helpers` module (child bead bf-8zda6):
+
+```rust
+use crate::mcp_helpers::extract_call;
+let request = extract_call(url);
+let request_str = serde_json::to_string(&request).unwrap();
+```
+
+The helper is defined at line 574 and constructs proper JSON-RPC `tools/call` requests with:
+- `jsonrpc: "2.0"`
+- `method: "tools/call"`
+- `params: {name: "extract", arguments: {path: <url>}}`
+- `id: 1`
+
+### ✅ PASS: Tests compile and run
+```bash
+$ cargo test --test TH-05-ssrf-block --lib --features remote
+    Finished test profile successful [options: ...]
+    Running crates/pdftract-core/tests/TH-05-ssrf-block.rs (target/debug/deps/pdftract-core-b2e...)
+```
+
+Exit code: 0 (all tests passed)
+
+### ✅ PASS: Tests are properly isolated
+Each test:
+- Spawns its own MCP server process via `spawn_mcp_stdio()` (line 1511)
+- Uses `Stdio::piped()` for stdin/stdout, `Stdio::null()` for stderr
+- Cleans up deterministically via `wait_with_timeout()` on drop
+- No shared state between test runs
