Limited view. Automated analysis covers part of this stack. Findings reflect what we verified. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.
Limited view: static analysis for Python is partially covered.

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
20/20 tools missing one or more hints — query_knowledge (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); save_research (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); fetch_url (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +17 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
18/20 tool handlers declare input schemas (90%)
Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.
Tool handlers catch errors
13/20 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (65%)
Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.
Tests exist
No test files found
Add tests that exercise each declared tool.
