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

32/32 tools missing one or more hints — search_movie (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); search_tv (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); search_person (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +29 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

32 tools describe read intent but their handlers mutate — search_movie (line 29: execSync(`curl -s "${url.toString()}"`, { encoding: 'utf-8' })); search_tv (line 29: execSync(`curl -s "${url.toString()}"`, { encoding: 'utf-8' })); search_person (line 29: execSync(`curl -s "${url.toString()}"`, { encoding: 'utf-8' }))

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

Tool description accuracy

32 tools have description/behavior mismatches: search_movie: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes; search_tv: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes; search_person: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes

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