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.

validate-zoho-oauth

This will validate whether or not the user has a token already. If so you should be able to use the other endpoints.

setup-zoho-oauth

Before you can use the other tools, you must authorize your Zoho Account with the proper scopes and permissions. The user must visit this link to authorize Zoho, then get redirected to this application. You can also use this to re-authorize and get a new token if something has gone wrong.

zoho-modules-list-all

Get a list of all the modules and their API names from CRM

zoho-module-list-fields

Get a list of all the fields and their API names for a module. Search by Module API Name

simple-search-zoho-records

Search Zoho CRM Records using the API. Search using the Module API Name and a Search String

count-zoho-records

Fetch the total number of records in the module, or fetch the number of records that match a criteria. Count filters can be custom view ID, criteria, email, phone number, or a word in the record. For a total count, set count_type='total' and search_value=''. Criteria pattern is (API_NAME:operator:va

get-zoho-record

Get a record from any Zoho CRM Module by the record id.

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

7/7 tools missing one or more hints — validate-zoho-oauth (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); setup-zoho-oauth (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); zoho-modules-list-all (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +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.

Tool inputs are validated

4/7 tool handlers declare input schemas (57%)

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

License file

No license file

Add a LICENSE file (MIT, Apache-2.0, etc.).

Tests exist

No test files found

Add tests that exercise each declared tool.

Secrets not logged

1 secret value sent to error

Redact or omit secret values from log output.

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 15 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.14.0 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.14.0 (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 7 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
