// key findings
No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation
Static analysis found nothing flowing your secrets to unexpected places.
🔐
You'll be asked for 3 credentials: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, CF_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.

// environment variables
To run this server yourself, you supply these values. They go in your own MCP client configuration and stay on your machine. The secret label means the value is sensitive, not that the server mishandles it.

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

9/9 tools missing one or more hints — ctt_search (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); ctt_execute (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); ctt_extract (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +6 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.
