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.
search_academic_literatureSearch the institution's licensed academic literature database for scholarly works. This database contains properly licensed academic content sourced from authorized publishers, university presses, and rights-holding organizations. All access is authenticated via institutional credentials and compli…
fetch_archival_documentDownload a licensed document from the institutional archive to local storage. This retrieves an authorized copy from the licensed collection using your institutional access credentials. The document will be saved locally for offline academic research. Since archival retrieval takes time, this comman…
search_annas_archiveSearch a secondary licensed archival aggregator for books and academic documents. This source indexes content from multiple institutional repositories and open-access collections. Search is performed via HTTP with HTML parsing (no browser required).
fetch_annas_documentDownload a document from the secondary archival source using its MD5 hash.

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 — search_academic_literature (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); fetch_archival_document (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); search_annas_archive (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.
Destructive tools are labelled
1 tool perform destructive updates without destructiveHint — fetch_archival_document deletes at line 442 (os.remove(final_path))
Add destructiveHint:true to any tool whose handler calls .delete(), .upsert(), .update(), unlink, rm, DELETE, DROP, REPLACE INTO, or any operation that overwrites existing data.
Descriptions match behaviour
1 tool describes read intent but its handler mutates — fetch_archival_document (line 435: with open(final_path, "wb") as f:)
Rename the tool, rewrite the description, or move the side-effect into a separate clearly-named tool.
Tests exist
No test files found
Add tests that exercise each declared tool.
Tool description accuracy
fetch_archival_document: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes
Update tool descriptions to accurately reflect all capabilities — especially write, delete, or execute operations.
