Tool annotations

30/33 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

3/33 tools missing one or more hints — say_hello (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); list_graphs (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); search_graph (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.

openWorldHint matches behaviour

1 tool claims openWorldHint=false but make outbound HTTP — sign_up_free_account → dynamic (line 2127)

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

32/33 tool handlers declare input schemas (97%)

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

Tool handlers catch errors

30/33 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (91%)

Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.

License file

No license file

Add a LICENSE file (MIT, Apache-2.0, etc.).

Tests exist

No test files found

Add tests that exercise each declared tool.

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 11 high severity in production deps — axios@1.13.5 (high), axios@1.13.5 (high)

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

// 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 8 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
