3/25 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
22/25 tools missing one or more hints — opengrok_api (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); opengrok_execute (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); opengrok_search_code (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +19 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
Only 3/25 tool handlers declare input schemas (12%)
Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.
Tool test coverage
10/25 tools referenced in tests (40%)
Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.
Shell command execution
17 child_process calls — runs shell commands
Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.
Production dependencies are patched
0 critical, 3 high severity in production deps — undici@7.24.2 (high), undici@7.24.2 (high)
Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.
Dev dependencies
1 critical/high in dev-only deps (does not ship to users)
Upgrade dev dependencies when convenient.
Dependency freshness
2/15 production deps stale: he@2022-07-06 (4y), @iarna/toml@2023-07-15 (3y)

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.
