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.

create_note

Create a new note with a title, markdown body, and optional tags.

update_note

Update an existing note by id. Only the fields you pass are changed.

delete_note

Permanently delete a note by id.

get_note

Retrieve a single note by id, including its full body.

search_notes

Search notes by free-text query (all terms must match) and/or a tag. Returns matching notes newest-first.

list_tags

List every tag currently in use across all notes.

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

6/6 tools missing one or more hints — create_note (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); update_note (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); delete_note (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 inputs are validated

5/6 tool handlers declare input schemas (83%)

Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.

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.

Tests exist

No test files found

Add tests that exercise each declared tool.

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 3 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.12.0 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.12.0 (high)

Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.

// 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
We have 6 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
