6/12 tools have annotations
Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.
All four hints declared on every tool
12/12 tools missing one or more hints — recall (missing: idempotentHint, openWorldHint); load_memory (missing: idempotentHint, openWorldHint); save_memory (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +9 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.
