What to fix (1)

1 tool definition(s) exceed ~1,200 tokens each (largest: regulations_search_rules, ~1,521).

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 ~921 tokens every session. How to fix →

Is the Cyanheads Federal Regulations MCP server safe to connect to an AI agent?

Glimind scanned all 7 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.
