Enables AI agents to extract, analyze, and manipulate images, PDFs, video, and audio while conserving context through downscaling, truncation, and frame/page caps.
Caution. Specific findings reduced this grade. They are listed on the page. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

No tools have read-only/destructive annotations
Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.
All four hints declared on every tool
22/22 tools missing one or more hints — media_probe (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); audio_info (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); audio_convert (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +19 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.
Destructive tools are labelled
4 tools perform destructive updates without destructiveHint — audio_waveform deletes at line 178 (tmp_path.unlink(missing_ok=True)); pdf_ocr deletes at line 209 (rendered[0].unlink(missing_ok=True)); pdf_extract_images deletes at line 254 (img_path.unlink(missing_ok=True))
Add destructiveHint:true to any tool whose handler calls .delete(), .upsert(), .update(), unlink, rm, DELETE, DROP, REPLACE INTO, or any operation that overwrites existing data.
Descriptions match behaviour
2 tools describe read intent but their handlers mutate — pdf_extract_images (line 254: img_path.unlink(missing_ok=True)); video_transcript (line 357: tmp_path.unlink(missing_ok=True))
Rename the tool, rewrite the description, or move the side-effect into a separate clearly-named tool.
Tool description accuracy
pdf_extract_images: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes; video_transcript: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes
Update tool descriptions to accurately reflect all capabilities — especially write, delete, or execute operations.
