4/52 tools have annotations
Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.
All four hints declared on every tool
48/52 tools missing one or more hints — grimmory_list_authors (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); grimmory_get_author (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); grimmory_find_author_by_name (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +45 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.
openWorldHint matches behaviour
4 tools claim openWorldHint=false but make outbound HTTP — grimmory_list_libraries → libraries (line 47); grimmory_get_library → dynamic (line 81); grimmory_list_shelves → shelves (line 55)
Either flip openWorldHint to true (acknowledging external reach) or refactor the handler to avoid outbound HTTP. If the only network calls are to a known fixed endpoint that you consider part of the tool itself, document that and keep openWorldHint=false; otherwise true is honest.
Tool inputs are validated
Only 0/52 tool handlers declare input schemas (0%)
Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.
Tool handlers catch errors
Only 0/52 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (0%)
Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.
Tests pass
npm test failed — tests do not pass
Make sure npm test runs cleanly. Common cause: missing build step or missing env vars.
