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.
DEEPSLATE_CACHE_DIROverride the cache directory (default: ~/.cache/deepslate-mcp)DEEPSLATE_JAR_PATHPoint to a pre-downloaded client.jar (skips network)TEST_TMPDIRTool 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
4/4 tools missing one or more hints — inspect_structure (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); render_blocks (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); render_item (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +1 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
1 tool describes read intent but its handler mutates — render_blocks (line 128: fs.writeFile(outputPath, png))
Rename the tool, rewrite the description, or move the side-effect into a separate clearly-named tool.
Tool inputs are validated
Only 0/4 tool handlers declare input schemas (0%)
Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.
Tests pass
npm test failed — tests do not pass
Make sure npm test runs cleanly. Common cause: missing build step or missing env vars.
Shell command execution
2 child_process calls — runs shell commands
Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.
Dependency freshness
1/7 production deps stale: pngjs@2023-02-20 (3.4y)
Tool description accuracy
render_blocks: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes
Update tool descriptions to accurately reflect all capabilities — especially write, delete, or execute operations.
