4 of 4 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 →
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 →
Paste-ready definitions with the problems above fixed. Changes marked verify need a human look. All of them as JSON: /v1/readiness/mcp-registry%2Fio.github.ies86%2Fshortlist-price-index/fixes

Glimind scanned all 4 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.
