What to fix (4)

4 parameter(s) across 3 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_article, latest_articles, search_articles

Reachable 96.9% of the time over the last 30 days; median recovery 4 min.

Agents fail over to an alternative the first time a call fails. Add health checks and restart-on-failure, and avoid cold starts on serverless hosts.

In the last 30 days: 3 tool(s) removed and 1 schema change(s).

Add new tools or optional parameters instead of renaming or removing; deprecate first (say so in the description) and remove later. Agents cache tool contracts. How to fix →

No tool declares an outputSchema.

Declare outputSchema and return structuredContent (MCP 2025-06-18+). Agents can then parse results without guessing, and chain tools reliably. How to fix →

Is the Smilestory Koreantoday MCP server safe to connect to an AI agent?

Glimind scanned all 5 tool definitions for tool-poisoning patterns — hidden or invisible characters, instructions that override the model, concealment from the user, requests to read credential or MCP config files, conversation exfiltration and cross-tool shadowing — and found none. This checks what the server tells the model, not what its code does; review the source before granting access to sensitive data.
