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

72/72 tools missing one or more hints — fetch_file (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); launch_gofang_scan (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); fetch_gofang_results (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +69 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

2 tools describe read intent but their handlers mutate — fetch_whois_data (line 323: result = subprocess.run(['whois', domain], capture_output=True, text=True)); fetch_whois_data (line 261: result = subprocess.run(['whois', domain], capture_output=True, text=True))

Rename the tool, rewrite the description, or move the side-effect into a separate clearly-named tool.

Tool handlers catch errors

44/72 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (61%)

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.

Tool description accuracy

fetch_whois_data: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes; fetch_whois_data: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes

Update tool descriptions to accurately reflect all capabilities — especially write, delete, or execute operations.
