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.

PIP_NO_SETUPTOOLSPIP_NO_WHEELTool 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
3/3 tools missing one or more hints — get_webpage_content (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_youtube_transcript (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_pdf (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint). 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.
Destructive tools are labelled
1 tool perform destructive updates without destructiveHint — get_pdf deletes at line 88 (os.remove(filename))
Add destructiveHint:true to any tool whose handler calls .delete(), .upsert(), .update(), unlink, rm, DELETE, DROP, REPLACE INTO, or any operation that overwrites existing data.
Tool handlers catch errors
Only 1/3 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (33%)
Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.
