What to fix (3)

2 tool definition(s) exceed ~1,200 tokens each (largest: update_scout, ~2,150).

Move long reference material out of descriptions (link a doc or expose a resource), drop repeated examples, and collapse large enums. Trimming these to ~600 tokens saves ~3,035 tokens every session. How to fix →

Tools: update_scout, create_scout · saves ~3,035 tokens/session

Handshake + tools/list takes ~1,687 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.

In the last 30 days: 0 tool(s) removed and 7 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 →

Is the Usecarscout 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.
