// key findings
⚠️
Tool descriptions don’t match what handlers do
1 tool describes read intent but its handler mutates — ssh_read_file (line 62: conn.exec(command, (err, stream) => {)
✅
No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation
Static analysis found nothing flowing your secrets to unexpected places.
✅
Open source with a license and README
Anyone can audit the code, the license is declared, and the publisher documents what it does.
🔐
You'll be asked for 1 credential: VPS_PASSWORD
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.

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

11/11 tools missing one or more hints — ssh_exec (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); ssh_test_connection (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); ssh_read_file (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +8 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.

Descriptions match behaviour

1 tool describes read intent but its handler mutates — ssh_read_file (line 62: conn.exec(command, (err, stream) => {)

Rename the tool, rewrite the description, or move the side-effect into a separate clearly-named tool.

Tool test coverage

Only 1/11 tools referenced in tests (9%)

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

Tool description accuracy

ssh_read_file: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes; ssh_task_list: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes

Update tool descriptions to accurately reflect all capabilities — especially write, delete, or execute operations.
