39/39 tools missing one or more hints — dom_cdp (missing: idempotentHint); accessibility (missing: idempotentHint); input_event (missing: idempotentHint), +36 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 annotations match behaviour
1 read-only tool performs write/delete/exec — search_text (line 42: spawnSync("rg", args, { encoding: "utf8", maxBuffer: 4 * 1024 * 1024 }))
Either remove the readOnlyHint:true annotation, or remove the write/delete call from the tool handler.
Destructive tools are labelled
1 tool perform destructive updates without destructiveHint — screen_record deletes at line 137 (fs.unlinkSync(flag))
Add destructiveHint:true to any tool whose handler calls .delete(), .upsert(), .update(), unlink, rm, DELETE, DROP, REPLACE INTO, or any operation that overwrites existing data.
Tool inputs are validated
31/39 tool handlers declare input schemas (79%)
Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.
Tests exist
No test files found
Add tests that exercise each declared tool.
Shell command execution
6 child_process/subprocess calls in production code — runs shell commands (src/doctor.js:27, src/doctor.js:32, src/doctor.js:38)
Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.
