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.

tempo_search_traces
tempo_get_trace

Get complete trace data by trace ID, including all spans with full details

tempo_get_trace_spans

Get all spans from a specific trace with optional filtering by service name, span name, duration, attributes, or error status

tempo_search_spans

Search for traces and return all matching spans across multiple traces with filtering. Useful for finding specific operations across your system.

tempo_get_span_statistics

Get aggregated statistics for spans grouped by service, operation, or status. Returns count, avg/min/max/percentile durations.

tempo_query_by_tag

Convenience method to query traces by specific tag/attribute filters. Useful for filtering by sometag, user.id, environment, 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

6/6 tools missing one or more hints — tempo_search_traces (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); tempo_get_trace (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); tempo_get_trace_spans (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, 14 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.0.4 (high), axios@1.7.9 (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.
