skald-chat

Ask a question to your Skald knowledge base and get an AI-generated response with inline citations. Supports optional filters to narrow search context

skald-search

Search through your Skald memos using various search methods (semantic search, title contains, title starts with) with optional filters

skald-create-memo

Create a new memo in Skald that will be automatically processed (summarized, tagged, chunked, and indexed for search)

skald-get-memo

Retrieve a memo by UUID or client reference ID with full content, summary, tags, and chunks

skald-update-memo

Update an existing memo by UUID or client reference ID. If content is updated, the memo will be reprocessed

skald-delete-memo

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 — skald-chat (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); skald-search (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); skald-create-memo (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.

Tests exist

No test files found

Add tests that exercise each declared tool.

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 15 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.5.0 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.5.0 (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 4 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
