// key findings

⚠️

Tool descriptions don’t match what handlers do

1 tool describes read intent but its handler mutates — patentmcp_batch_download_figures (line 5081: with open(cooldown_file, "w") as f:)

✅

82 tools verified — handlers match their declared behaviour

20 read-only tools verified — handlers contain no write/delete/exec

✅

No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation

Static analysis found nothing flowing your secrets to unexpected places.

✅

Open source with a license and README

Anyone can audit the code, the license is declared, and the publisher documents what it does.

🔐

You'll be asked for 8 credentials: EPO_OPS_KEY, EPO_OPS_SECRET, USPTO_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, EPO_CONSUMER_KEY, EPO_CONSUMER_SECRET, GPSS4_PASSWORD

These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.

patent_search

Unified patent SEARCH — the single search entry point. The source ladder is BUILT IN: TIPO GPSS (official, primary) → EPO OPS → USPTO PPUBS → (gated) Google Patents. You do NOT pick a source; the server routes by credential availability and query-axis capability, and records every level's attempt in…

patent_bulk

Unified BULK harvest — exhaustively pull a result set from ONE explicitly chosen source in a single call, with server-side auto-pagination (and, for EPO, biblio fan-out). The single bulk entry point (patent_bulk_export / patent_bulk_harvest / epo_bulk_harvest were folded into this).

patent_bulk_export

[RENAMED -> patent_bulk] Returns a TOOL_RENAMED redirect envelope; does NOT run a search. Call patent_bulk(source='gpss', ...) with no keyword for a classification-axis export.

patent_bulk_harvest

[RENAMED -> patent_bulk] Returns a TOOL_RENAMED redirect envelope; does NOT run a search. Call patent_bulk(source='gpss', keyword=...) for a keyword harvest.

epo_bulk_harvest

[RENAMED -> patent_bulk] Returns a TOOL_RENAMED redirect envelope; does NOT run a search. Call patent_bulk(source='epo', ...) for the EPO harvest (keyword_field/uspc/databases/inventor_country are ignored by EPO).

gpss_search

[RENAMED -> patent_search] Retired 0.3.0. Returns a TOOL_RENAMED redirect envelope; does NOT run a search. Call patent_search instead — same cpc/ipc/keyword/databases axes, source ladder built in.

epo_search

[RENAMED -> patent_search] Retired 0.3.0. Returns a TOOL_RENAMED redirect envelope; does NOT run a search. The EPO level is built into patent_search's source ladder (single-number tools epo_family / epo_biblio remain available).

gpatents_search

[RENAMED -> patent_search] Retired 0.3.0. Returns a TOOL_RENAMED redirect envelope; does NOT run a search. The Google Patents tail is the gated last level of patent_search (allow_scraping=True required); single-number tools gpatents_get / gpatents_download_* remain.

patentmcp_init

Read-only: returns patentmcp's usage doctrine + structured capabilities, no side effects.

patentmcp_kb_query

READ-ONLY, no side effects: query patentmcp's self-shipped patent-practice domain KB (the repo ragbase store — distilled, evidence-graded knowledge: GPSS/EPO API specs, prior-art search methodology, figure-exhaustion ladder, known failure modes, patent-analysis frameworks). Call BEFORE judgment-heav…

patentmcp_kb_get

READ-ONLY, no side effects: fetch ONE domain-KB object's full distilled body (body_md) plus evidence grading (confidence, source_weight) and provenance (its distilled_from/extracted_from lineage edges with per-edge source_weight). Unknown id -> error_code KB_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND (consider: patentmcp_kb_…

patentmcp_batch_download_figures

Batch download representative figures for a list of patent publication numbers. Implements a local cooldown (skip list) cache for patents encountering HTTP 503 errors to prevent locking. Returns a mapping of publication numbers to their staged image handles or skipped status.

pool_fetch

Fetch per-publication metadata for a patent pool and LAND it as a records JSON in the token store (the network/credential half of the old patentmcp_analyze_pool). Source ladder per pub: BigQuery → TW GPSS → Google Patents scrape → patent_get_claim1. The raw records never flow through the model conte…

cache_provision

Provision (idempotent) a WebDAV working cache bound to a deliverable subject, returning its mount path + a one-time Basic credential.

cache_list

List the caller's deliverable caches with their dirty state.

cache_export

COPY-land a cache's full working tree (src + deliverables) to a truth-store target reference point, then stamp the export baseline.

cache_close

Close (reap) a deliverable cache, gated on working-tree cleanliness.

patentmcp_analyze_pool

[LANDED → pool_fetch (data) + skills/patentworks/scripts/pool_charts.py (charts)]

search_audit

Machine-checkable RIGOR GATE for the priorsearch flow — audits whether a search was BROAD ENOUGH, so a thin "checked a few hits and called it done" search cannot pass off as a complete landscape.

patentdb_put

Upsert ONE patent's bibliographic record into the global patentdb structured layer.

patentdb_query

Query the global patentdb bibliographic store (NO project/screening dimension).

patentdb_import_csv

Bulk-import BIBLIOGRAPHIC fields from a candidates.csv into patentdb.

Report the shared GPSS4 login session state (keep-alive SSOT). Read-only.

gpss4_advanced_search

Harvest the TIPO GPSS4 web 進階檢索 (advanced search) result list into a pubno-granularity patent pool, delivered via patentmcp's standard file rails.

// quality suggestions

Tool annotations

20/82 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

79/82 tools missing one or more hints — review_patent_claims (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); review_specification (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); check_formalities (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +76 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 — patentmcp_batch_download_figures (line 5081: with open(cooldown_file, "w") as f:)

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

Tool test coverage

37/82 tools referenced in tests (45%)

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

Tool description accuracy

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

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

Claim the listing to review these findings one by one and send us a correction where you disagree, straight to the team. Claiming also means we tell you when the grade moves, and reach you first if we find anything urgent.

// 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 5 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
