Tool annotations

3/10 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

7/10 tools missing one or more hints — list_sites (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_site_overview (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_health_evidence (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +4 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 test coverage

4/10 tools referenced in tests (40%)

Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.

Domain consistency

npm scope @prerenderbuddy doesn't match GitHub owner kopachlager

Use the same org name across GitHub, npm, and your homepage so users can verify the publisher.
