// key findings
105 tools verified — handlers match their declared behaviour
35 read-only tools verified — handlers contain no write/delete/exec
No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation
Static analysis found nothing flowing your secrets to unexpected places.

These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.
// environment variables
To run this server yourself, you supply these values. They go in your own MCP client configuration and stay on your machine. The secret label means the value is sensitive, not that the server mishandles it.

Tool annotations

67/104 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

37/104 tools missing one or more hints — get_corporate_tax_registration (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_corporate_tax_registration_choices (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); create_corporate_tax_registration (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +34 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 — upload_bulk_attachments deletes at line 293 (os.remove(temp_file)); create_attachment deletes at line 568 (os.remove(temp_file_path))

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.

openWorldHint matches behaviour

2 tools claim openWorldHint=false but make outbound HTTP — get_attachment_preview → dynamic (line 746); get_einvoice_xml → dynamic (line 579)

Either flip openWorldHint to true (acknowledging external reach) or refactor the handler to avoid outbound HTTP. If the only network calls are to a known fixed endpoint that you consider part of the tool itself, document that and keep openWorldHint=false; otherwise true is honest.

Tool inputs are validated

87/104 tool handlers declare input schemas (84%)

Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.

Tool handlers catch errors

Only 13/104 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (13%)

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.

// 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 7 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
