What to fix (2)

8 of 8 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: estimate_contractor_tax, get_form, get_form_maker_pass, hst_quick_method, list_categories and 3 more

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 →
