100 dependencies, 1 flagged: playwright
All four hints declared on every tool
10/10 tools missing one or more hints — scrape_docs (missing: readOnlyHint, idempotentHint); refresh_version (missing: readOnlyHint, idempotentHint); search_docs (missing: idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +7 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.
For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.
Tool inputs are validated
9/10 tool handlers declare input schemas (90%)
Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.
Tool test coverage
3/10 tools referenced in tests (30%)
Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.
Shell command execution
1 child_process/subprocess call in production code — runs shell commands (src/cli/utils.ts:94)
Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.
No arbitrary install scripts
Has postinstall/preinstall script — runs arbitrary code on npm install
Remove postinstall/preinstall hooks unless they’re essential.
Production dependencies are patched
1 critical, 8 high severity in production deps — tar@7.4.3 (critical), @fastify/static@10.1.0 (high)
Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.
Dependency freshness
5/63 production deps abandoned (no release in 2+ years): gray-matter@2023-07-12 (3.1y), remark-html@2023-11-20 (2.7y), remark-parse@2023-11-20 (2.7y)
