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.

vendo_apps_list

List the current user's saved Vendo apps

vendo_apps_open

Open a saved Vendo app

vendo_apps_call

Run an interaction from a saved Vendo app

vendo_apps_reseed

Update a Vendo app that was created from a host component so it uses the host's current version of that component. It rebuilds on the fresh copy and replays every change the user has ever asked of this app, oldest first, so nothing they asked for is dropped — but a change the new version cannot take…

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

8/8 tools missing one or more hints — vendo_apps_list (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); vendo_apps_open (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); vendo_apps_call (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +5 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.

License file

No license file

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

Readable source code

1 file are minified or bundled, which is usually build output rather than concealment

Ship unminified, readable source.

Production dependencies are patched

3 critical, 1 high severity in production deps — jsonata@2.0.5 (critical), jsonata@2.0.5 (critical)

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

Dependency freshness

3/33 production deps abandoned (no release in 2+ years): ajv-formats@2024-03-30 (2.4y), @e965/xlsx@2024-07-19 (2.1y), aws4fetch@2024-08-28 (2y)

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.
