The grade above is for the source repository. Registries can serve a different version, so we mark the ones we were not able to read.
These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.
extract_text_from_fileExtract plain text from local document files.
extract_text_from_file_streamStream plain text chunks from local document files.
convert_to_markdownConvert various document formats to Markdown, extracting images when applicable. **Important**: This tool converts the ENTIRE document and saves it to a file. It ignores the DOC_READER_DEFAULT_MAX_ROWS, DOC_READER_DEFAULT_MAX_PAGES, and DOC_READER_MAX_OUTPUT_CHARS environment variables. Only the pre…

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
3/3 tools missing one or more hints — extract_text_from_file (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); extract_text_from_file_stream (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); convert_to_markdown (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.
Descriptions match behaviour
1 tool describes read intent but its handler mutates — convert_to_markdown (line 813: with open(img_path, 'wb') as f:)
Rename the tool, rewrite the description, or move the side-effect into a separate clearly-named tool.
Tool handlers catch errors
2/3 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (67%)
Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.
Tests exist
No test files found
Add tests that exercise each declared tool.
