What to fix (4)

12 of 12 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: octopus_approve, octopus_cancel_task, octopus_declare_intents, octopus_get_task, octopus_marketplace and 7 more

14 parameter(s) across 8 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: octopus_approve, octopus_cancel_task, octopus_declare_intents, octopus_get_task, octopus_post_task and 3 more

4 tool(s) look like they change state (create/send/delete/pay…) but declare no destructiveHint.

Set annotations {"readOnlyHint": false, "destructiveHint": true|false, "idempotentHint": …}. Clients use these to ask the user before a side effect and to auto-approve safe reads. How to fix →

Tools: octopus_approve, octopus_cancel_task, octopus_post_task, octopus_send_message

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 Tryoctopus Octopus MCP server safe to connect to an AI agent?

Glimind scanned all 12 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.
