The grade above is for the source repository. Registries can serve a different version, so we mark the ones we were not able to read.

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
26/26 tools missing one or more hints — transcribe_podcast (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); transcribe_start (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); job_status (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +23 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
2 tools describe read intent but their handlers mutate — knowledge_base (line 1047: kb.writeFile(filename, content)); manage_thumbnail_config (line 1993: writeFileSync(filePath!, JSON.stringify(await res.json(), null, 2), "utf-8"))
Rename the tool, rewrite the description, or move the side-effect into a separate clearly-named tool.
Tool inputs are validated
18/26 tool handlers declare input schemas (69%)
Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.
Tool test coverage
Only 3/26 tools referenced in tests (12%)
Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.
Shell command execution
1 call in production code run through a shell (src/ui/web-server.ts:873)
Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.
Secrets not logged
1 secret value sent to print
Redact or omit secret values from log output.
Dev dependencies
1 critical/high in dev-only deps (does not ship to users)
Upgrade dev dependencies when convenient.
Tool description accuracy
knowledge_base: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes; manage_thumbnail_config: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes
Update tool descriptions to accurately reflect all capabilities — especially write, delete, or execute operations.
