KAKAO_REST_API_KEY"env": { "": "your_rest_api_key" }MCP_TRANSPORTPORTTool 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
6/6 tools missing one or more hints — kakao_address_to_coord (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); kakao_search_place (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); kakao_place_by_category (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +3 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 handlers catch errors
Only 0/6 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (0%)
Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.
