Tool annotations

48/49 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

1/49 tools missing one or more hints — crosspad_obsolete (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint). 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

1 tool claims openWorldHint=false but make outbound HTTP — crosspad_symbol → textDocument/definition (line 293)

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.

Shell command execution

9 calls in production code run through a shell (src/utils/device.ts:73, src/utils/device.ts:192, src/utils/device.ts:276)

Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.
