SF_EXPORT_TTL_SECONDSHow long exported CSV files are kept before auto-cleanup. Increase for multi-hour audit sessions. 3600 (1 hour)SF_EXPORT_TIMEOUT_SECONDSMax time to wait for an export_crawl operation to complete. Increase for very large crawls (100k+ URLs). 300 (5 minutes)SF_ALLOWED_DOMAINSComma-separated list of allowed crawl target domains. When set, crawl_site only accepts URLs matching these domains. Empty (all domains allowed)All four hints declared on every tool
8/9 tools missing one or more hints — sf_check (missing: destructiveHint, idempotentHint); crawl_site (missing: idempotentHint); crawl_status (missing: destructiveHint, idempotentHint), +5 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 annotations match behaviour
2 read-only tools perform write/delete/exec — sf_check (line 301: result = subprocess.run(); list_crawls (line 597: result = subprocess.run()
Either remove the readOnlyHint:true annotation, or remove the write/delete call from the tool handler.
Descriptions match behaviour
1 tool describes read intent but its handler mutates — list_crawls (line 597: result = subprocess.run()
Rename the tool, rewrite the description, or move the side-effect into a separate clearly-named tool.
Tool inputs are validated
6/9 tool handlers declare input schemas (67%)
Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.
Tool handlers catch errors
8/9 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (89%)
Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.
Tests exist
No test files found
Add tests that exercise each declared tool.
Tool description accuracy
list_crawls: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes
Update tool descriptions to accurately reflect all capabilities — especially write, delete, or execute operations.
