get_webpage_content

Returns the text content on a webpage based on the link provided. Using this tool you can access links provided by the user so you don't have deny those requests. When the user provides a webpage link which is NOT a youtube or github link and asks questions based on that, this function should be cal

get_youtube_transcript

Use this tool when you receive youtube links from the user. This tool will extract the transcript from the youtube video and return it to you. Therefore if a user asks questions on a youtube video after providing a link, you can answer their question with this tool. Args: url: The url from which you

get_pdf

Convert a URL that leads to a PDF file to markdown text. Args: input_url (str): Path to the PDF file to convert Returns: str: markdown_text

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

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.

License file

No license file

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

Tests exist

No test files found

// 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
