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
7/7 tools missing one or more hints — list_projects (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); create_project (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); rename_project (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +4 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.
Readable source code
2 files are minified or bundled, which is usually build output rather than concealment
Ship unminified, readable source.
Secrets stay with their owner
2 secrets sent to a request target we could not resolve (API_SERVER_KEY → dynamic, API_SERVER_KEY → dynamic) — often a configured endpoint, not necessarily third-party
Audit where credentials are sent. A NOTION_TOKEN should only reach api.notion.com — never a third-party host.
