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.

bible_list_versions

List all available Bible versions. Optionally filter by language code (e.g. 'en' for English, 'zh' for Chinese, 'de' for German). Returns version name, abbreviation, language, and locale for each version.

bible_list_books

List all books available in a specific Bible version. Returns book names as they appear in that version (may be in the original language for non-English versions).

bible_get_verse

Get a single Bible verse by specifying the version, book, chapter, and verse number.

bible_get_chapter

Get all verses from a specific chapter in a Bible version. Returns every verse in the chapter.

bible_get_passage

Get a range of verses from a chapter. Specify start and end verse numbers to retrieve a passage (e.g. John 3:16-21).

bible_search

Search for text within a Bible version. Performs case-insensitive substring matching across all verses. Optionally limit to a specific book and set a max number of results.

bible_compare

Compare the same verse across multiple Bible versions. Provide a book, chapter, verse reference and a list of versions to see how each translation renders that passage side by side.

// known CVEs in dependencies3 high

All four hints declared on every tool

7/7 tools missing one or more hints — bible_list_versions (missing: destructiveHint); bible_list_books (missing: destructiveHint); bible_get_verse (missing: destructiveHint), +4 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.

// 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.
