What to fix (3)

44 parameter(s) across 15 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: assess_location_aq, chart_aq_trend, compare_locations, get_aqi_summary, get_current_aq and 10 more

15 of 15 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: assess_location_aq, chart_aq_trend, compare_locations, get_aqi_summary, get_current_aq and 10 more

Handshake + tools/list takes ~2,528 ms.

Serve tools/list from memory, keep the process warm, and host close to your users. Every new agent session pays this before its first call.

Auto-fix: 11 corrected tool definitions

Paste-ready definitions with the problems above fixed. Changes marked verify need a human look. 15 tool(s) still need parameter descriptions written by someone who knows the API. All of them as JSON: /v1/readiness/mcp-registry%2Fcom.southlondonscientific%2Fhermes/fixes

Is the Southlondonscientific Hermes MCP server safe to connect to an AI agent?

Glimind scanned all 15 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.
