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
58/58 tools missing one or more hints — list_environments (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); set_environment (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_current_environment (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +55 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 test coverage
Only 2/58 tools referenced in tests (3%)
Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.
