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
57/57 tools missing one or more hints — get_battery_status (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_wifi_info (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); scan_wifi (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +54 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.
Descriptions match behaviour
1 tool describes read intent but its handler mutates — find_and_tap (line 621: shutil.copy2(sdcard_real, dump_path))
Rename the tool, rewrite the description, or move the side-effect into a separate clearly-named tool.
Tool inputs are validated
35/57 tool handlers declare input schemas (61%)
Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.
Tool handlers catch errors
Only 10/57 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (18%)
Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.
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.
Tool description accuracy
find_and_tap: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes
Update tool descriptions to accurately reflect all capabilities — especially write, delete, or execute operations.
