// tools this server exposes10 tools

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.

notes_status

Check whether Apple Notes automation is available and return account/note counts.

notes_list_accounts

List Apple Notes accounts available to the current macOS user.

notes_list_folders

List Apple Notes folders, optionally scoped to one account.

notes_search

Search Apple Notes by title and plaintext body. Returns stable IDs for follow-up read, update, move, and delete tools.

notes_get

Read a full Apple Note, including plaintext and HTML body.

notes_create

Create a new Apple Note in a target folder. bodyHtml should be valid lightweight HTML such as div, p, ul, ol, li, h1-h3.

notes_update

Update a note title and/or HTML body. Prefer noteId lookup for correctness.

notes_move

Move a note to another folder, including folders in another account. Defaults to dryRun=true so clients can verify the resolved note and destination before moving.

notes_delete

Delete an Apple Note. Defaults to dryRun=true so clients can verify the resolved note before deletion.

notes_create_folder

Create a folder in an Apple Notes account.

// known CVEs in dependencies3 high

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

10/10 tools missing one or more hints — notes_status (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); notes_list_accounts (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); notes_list_folders (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +7 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

7/10 tool handlers declare input schemas (70%)

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

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@1.12.1 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.12.1 (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 5 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
