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
133/133 tools missing one or more hints — kubectl (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_infrastructure_summary (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); proxmox_list_vms (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +130 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.
License file
No license file
Add a LICENSE file (MIT, Apache-2.0, etc.).
No hardcoded API keys
1 live-looking API key in source: 1 Anthropic API key
Move secrets to environment variables (process.env.X) or your secret manager.
Tool test coverage
Only 13/133 tools referenced in tests (10%)
Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.
Shell command execution
5 child_process/subprocess calls in production code — runs shell commands (services/mcp-servers/cortex/src/sse-server.js:64, lib/worker-pool/fifo-channel.js:38, lib/worker-pool/fifo-channel.js:39)
Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.
Secrets never reach shell commands
3 secret values passed to shell commands — possible command injection
Never pass secrets through shell commands. Use library APIs that accept credentials as arguments.
Secrets not logged
9 secret values sent to console.log
Redact or omit secret values from log output.

Add it once and ask Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client to grade a server, surface CVEs, check the publisher, and suggest safer alternatives — before you install.
