These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.

search_emails

Hybrid keyword + semantic search over the personal mail archive. q may be German or English, a phrase or a topic. from_ filters the sender address (substring), since/until are ISO dates, human=true drops newsletters and automated mail, attachments=true keeps only mail with attachments. Returns id, d

get_email

Full text of one mail by id (from search_emails), quotes and signatures stripped, plus recipients, folder, direction, attachment file names and the thread it belongs to (id, date, from, subject per message).

// quality suggestions

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

2/2 tools missing one or more hints — search_emails (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_email (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint). 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.

Readable source code

1 file are minified or bundled, which is usually build output rather than concealment

Ship unminified, readable source.

// full audit trail
The findings above are the summary. The full trail, every check we ran, each deduction, the network hosts observed and the dependency advisories, goes to verified publishers, along with an alert whenever a new one lands. Verified publishers can also review each finding and dispute it in one click. Publisher corrections have sharpened several of our checks this month, because the maintainer knows the codebase better than any scanner.
// improvement guidance — verified publishers only
We have 3 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
