// tools this server exposes21 tools

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.

carve_read_file

Read a UTF-8 text file inside an explicitly configured workspace root.

carve_list_files

List supported document files inside an explicitly configured root, with bounded recursion and no host paths.

carve_review_workspace

Lint Carve files and validate explicit local document links and anchors across a bounded workspace scan.

carve_reference_graph

Index headings, footnotes, abbreviations, links, and images across bounded Carve workspace files; report resolved edges, broken references, and orphaned definitions.

carve_prepare_edit

Read and canonically format a Carve workspace file without writing. A lossless result includes a stale-guarded patch with UTF-8 byte ranges; a lossy writer-review result has patch: null.

carve_prepare_workspace_edits

Prepare bounded formatting proposals and unified diffs without writing. Lossless items include stale-guarded UTF-8 byte patches; lossy writer-review items have patch: null.

carve_workspace_info

List root indexes and whether writes are enabled. Paths are intentionally not exposed.

carve_write_file

Dry-run by default; atomically write UTF-8 text only when dryRun is false. Overwrites require the hash returned by carve_read_file.

carve_lint

Check Carve source for author-facing problems and silent degradation.

carve_diagnose_and_fix

Diagnose Carve source, propose bounded fixes, and optionally apply selected safe fix IDs with forward and undo patches. Writer-review fixes are never applied automatically.

carve_format

Format Carve source canonically and report any lossy raw-format nodes.

carve_render

Render Carve to HTML, Markdown, plain text, or ANSI terminal text, with loss reporting.

carve_check_targets

Compare one Carve document across HTML, Markdown, plain text, ANSI, GitHub, WordPress, and PDF-stage profiles, returning target-specific warnings, losses, and fallbacks.

carve_parse

Parse and resolve Carve into its position-aware interchange AST.

carve_create_ast_patch

Compare two PART 12 Carve ASTs and return position-independent add, replace, and remove operations.

carve_apply_ast_patch

Validate and apply structured operations to a PART 12 Carve AST, returning the patched AST and canonical Carve source.

carve_select_ast_nodes

Resolve a heading ID, footnote label, node type, or current AST path to reviewable PART 12 AST paths without silently choosing among multiple matches.

carve_plan_ast_edit

Plan one or more atomic semantic AST edits and return a human-readable, reversible, stale-guarded source patch without writing the document.

carve_create_reversible_ast_patch

Compare two PART 12 ASTs and return forward and inverse operations with semantic stale-edit fingerprints.

carve_apply_reversible_ast_patch

Verify a reversible AST patch against source, apply or undo it, and return a minimal stale-guarded UTF-8 source edit without writing files.

carve_migrate

Migrate HTML, Markdown, Djot, or BBCode source to Carve with version 2 fidelity diagnostics.

// quality suggestions

All four hints declared on every tool

13/21 tools missing one or more hints — carve_lint (missing: idempotentHint); carve_diagnose_and_fix (missing: idempotentHint); carve_format (missing: idempotentHint), +10 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.

// 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 2 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
