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

103/103 tools missing one or more hints — macro_start_recording (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); macro_stop_recording (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); macro_export_vba (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +100 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 test coverage

Only 2/103 tools referenced in tests (2%)

Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.

Production dependencies are patched

1 critical, 7 high severity in production deps — handlebars@4.7.8 (critical), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.17.2 (high)

Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.

Dev dependencies

1 critical/high in dev-only deps (does not ship to users)

Upgrade dev dependencies when convenient.

// 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.
