7/17 tools missing one or more hints — list_codex_threads (missing: destructiveHint, idempotentHint); read_codex_thread (missing: destructiveHint, idempotentHint); codex_bridge_status (missing: destructiveHint, idempotentHint), +4 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.
