7/7 tools missing one or more hints — list_chats (missing: destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); catch_up (missing: destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); search_contacts (missing: 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 handlers catch errors
Only 3/7 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (43%)
Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.
Shell command execution
16 child_process calls — runs shell commands
Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.
