Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.

Dependencies

57 runtime dependencies (8 dev), 3 flagged: @playwright/test, @vitest/browser-playwright, playwright

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

60/60 tools missing one or more hints — container_inspect (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); container_logs (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); container_stats (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +57 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.

Tool test coverage

Only 5/60 tools referenced in tests (8%)

Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.

Production dependencies are patched

1 critical, 8 high severity in production deps — better-auth@1.4.21 (critical), better-auth@1.4.21 (high)

Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.
