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
84/84 tools missing one or more hints — switch_page (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); switch_page (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); set_project_setting (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +81 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.
Destructive tools are labelled
1 tool perform destructive updates without destructiveHint — save_project deletes at line 451 (os.remove(temp_file))
Add destructiveHint:true to any tool whose handler calls .delete(), .upsert(), .update(), unlink, rm, DELETE, DROP, REPLACE INTO, or any operation that overwrites existing data.
Tool inputs are validated
77/84 tool handlers declare input schemas (92%)
Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.
Tool handlers catch errors
Only 37/84 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (44%)
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.
