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.
list_filesList files and folders in a vault directory.
read_fileRead a file from the vault. Markdown and text files come back as text; images (png, jpg, jpeg, gif, webp, svg, bmp) come back as MCP image content.
write_fileCreate or update a file in the vault. For markdown or other text, pass the text in `content` and leave encoding as utf-8. For images or other binary files (png, jpg, jpeg, gif, webp, svg, bmp, pdf, etc.), base64-encode the bytes and pass them in `content` with encoding="base64". When the user shares…
searchSearch file contents in the vault using GitHub code search.

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
4/4 tools missing one or more hints — list_files (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); read_file (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); write_file (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +1 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.
