34/34 tools missing one or more hints — budget_vs_actual (missing: destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); category_trends (missing: destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); monthly_summary (missing: destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +31 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 inputs are validated
21/34 tool handlers declare input schemas (62%)
Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.
Tool test coverage
Only 5/34 tools referenced in tests (15%)
Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.
Secrets not logged
2 secret values sent to console.log
Redact or omit secret values from log output.
Dev dependencies
2 critical/high in dev-only deps (does not ship to users)
Upgrade dev dependencies when convenient.
