HIVE_VAULT_PATHDefault vault path: ~/Projects/knowledge. Override with VAULT_PATH (or ) as shown above.VAULT_PATHHive runs without a vault — vault tools return a friendly error until is set, so you can install first and configure later.HIVE_OUTBOX_TICK_SHIVE_RUNTIME_ROOTXDG_CONFIG_HOMETool 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
24/24 tools missing one or more hints — vault_list (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); vault_list (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); vault_ask (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +21 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.
Destructive tools are labelled
2 tools perform destructive updates without destructiveHint — vault_delete deletes at line 696 (filepath.unlink()); vault_delete deletes at line 696 (filepath.unlink())
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.
Descriptions match behaviour
2 tools describe read intent but their handlers mutate — vault_patch (line 540: filepath.write_text(working, encoding="utf-8")); vault_patch (line 540: filepath.write_text(working, encoding="utf-8"))
Rename the tool, rewrite the description, or move the side-effect into a separate clearly-named tool.
Tool handlers catch errors
20/24 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (83%)
Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.
Tests exist
No test files found
Add tests that exercise each declared tool.
Tool description accuracy
vault_patch: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes; vault_patch: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes
Update tool descriptions to accurately reflect all capabilities — especially write, delete, or execute operations.
