Tool annotations
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
8/8 tools missing one or more hints — area-report (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); events-stats (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); region-geometry-url (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +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 handlers catch errors
7/8 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (88%)
Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.
License file
No license file
Add a LICENSE file (MIT, Apache-2.0, etc.).
Tool test coverage
4/8 tools referenced in tests (50%)
Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.
Secrets not logged
1 secret value sent to console.log
Redact or omit secret values from log output.
Production dependencies are patched
0 critical, 11 high severity in production deps — axios@1.13.6 (high), axios@1.13.6 (high)
Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.

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.
