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.
remote_controlExecute shell commands and perform file operations on the remote EDA server. Args: action: The operation to perform ('run_command', 'read_file', or 'write_file') command: Shell command to execute when action='run_command' path: Remote file path when action='read_file' or action='write_file' content:…
virtuosoControl and interact with Cadence Virtuoso. Args: action: The operation to perform ('assisted_run', 'standalone', 'start_standalone', 'stop_standalone', 'run_terminal_command', 'exit') command: SKILL code when action='assisted_run'/'standalone', or shell command when action='run_terminal_command' wo…
eldoControl and interact with Siemens/Mentor Graphics Eldo simulator and waveform visualizer. Args: action: The operation to perform ('run_terminal_command', 'start_interactive', 'run_interactive', 'stop_interactive', 'run_script', or 'visualize_waveforms') command: Netlist/script path when action='run_…
workboardGit-backed WorkBoard tool for local-remote file synchronization and version control. Actions: - 'initialize': Create a new local WorkBoard workspace and initialize a local Git repository. - 'add': Fetch a file/folder from remote server path and add it to a specific WorkBoard at local_path. - 'export…
report_issueReport an issue, bug, or feature request directly to GitHub. Args: title: Issue Title describing the problem, bug, or feature request. body: Issue Content in Markdown format (bug report, feature request, tracebacks, proposals, etc.). label: Issue Label ('bug', 'enhancement', 'feature-request', etc.)…
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
5/5 tools missing one or more hints — remote_control (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); virtuoso (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); eldo (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +2 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.
Descriptions match behaviour
1 tool describes read intent but its handler mutates — eldo (line 223: proc = subprocess.Popen(cmd_args, stdout=subprocess.DEVNULL, stderr=subprocess.DEVNULL))
Rename the tool, rewrite the description, or move the side-effect into a separate clearly-named tool.
Tool description accuracy
eldo: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes
Update tool descriptions to accurately reflect all capabilities — especially write, delete, or execute operations.
