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.

ads_search

Search the Apple Ads Platform API catalog (full OpenAPI surface). Returns matching operations with method, path, tags, and param names — not full JSON Schemas. Use before ads_schema / ads_call. Examples: "list campaigns", "create ad group", "keyword bids", "impression share report", "negative keywor…

ads_schema

Return the full input JSON Schema and call hints for one Apple Ads operation. Pass operationId or tool name from ads_search (e.g. campaigns_find).

ads_call

Execute one Apple Ads Platform API operation. Prefer ads_search → ads_schema first. Pass path params and query params as top-level fields; JSON body as `body`. Pass adAccountId (or set APPLE_ADS_AD_ACCOUNT_ID) to scope the request to one ad account. Set _dryRun:true to resolve the request without ca…

ads_tags

List OpenAPI resource tags and operation counts. Use to narrow ads_search with the tag filter.

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

4/4 tools missing one or more hints — ads_search (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); ads_schema (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); ads_call (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +1 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.

Tests exist

No test files found

Add tests that exercise each declared tool.

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 3 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.12.1 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.12.1 (high)

Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.

// full audit trail
The findings above are the summary. The full trail, every check we ran, each deduction, the network hosts observed and the dependency advisories, goes to verified publishers, along with an alert whenever a new one lands. Verified publishers can also review each finding and dispute it in one click. Publisher corrections have sharpened several of our checks this month, because the maintainer knows the codebase better than any scanner.
// improvement guidance — verified publishers only
We have 4 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
