What to fix (2)

2 parameter(s) across 2 tool(s) have no description.

Add a "description" to each parameter with its format and an example ("ISO 8601 date, e.g. 2026-10-17"). This is the commonest cause of wrong arguments on the first call. How to fix →

Tools: get_update, list_updates

2 of 2 tool(s) carry no readOnlyHint/destructiveHint annotations.

Annotate read-only tools with {"readOnlyHint": true}. Agents and gateways can then run them without a confirmation prompt, and route around destructive ones. How to fix →

Tools: get_update, list_updates

Auto-fix: 2 corrected tool definitions

Paste-ready definitions with the problems above fixed. Changes marked verify need a human look. 2 tool(s) still need parameter descriptions written by someone who knows the API. All of them as JSON: /v1/readiness/mcp-registry%2Fai.corduroy-labs%2Fupdates/fixes
