What to fix (3)

81 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: add_to_date, calendar_events, calendar_periods, calendar_weekday, convert_date 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: add_to_date, calendar_events, calendar_periods, calendar_weekday, convert_date and 10 more

Requires authentication; tool definitions could not be read anonymously.

If discovery should be public, allow initialize + tools/list without credentials and gate only tools/call. Directories and routers can then list your tools.

Auto-fix: 3 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%2Fdev.almanack%2Falmanack/fixes

FAQ

Is the Almanack MCP server down right now?

As of 2026-10-20 01:02 UTC, the Almanack MCP server is up (it requires sign-in) with a Glimind reliability score of 83/100 (grade B). Over the last 30 days it answered 100% of Glimind's liveness checks. It had 1 outage in 90 days, with a median recovery of 5 minutes.

How many tools does Almanack MCP server provide?

Almanack MCP server advertises 15 tools, including add_to_date, calendar_events, calendar_periods, calendar_weekday, convert_date.

How do I install Almanack MCP server?

Point your MCP client at this streamable-http endpoint: https://almanack.dev/mcp

Is the Almanack 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.
