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.
These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.

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
9/9 tools missing one or more hints — zotero_status (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); zotero_search (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); zotero_get_item (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +6 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.
Tool inputs are validated
7/9 tool handlers declare input schemas (78%)
Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.
Tool test coverage
Only 0/9 tools referenced in tests (0%)
Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.
Production dependencies are patched
0 critical, 1 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.0.0 (high)
Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.
Dependency freshness
1/5 production deps stale: citeproc@2023-04-17 (3.3y)
