Third-party server, listed as discovered. Review its source before installing.
6 of 6 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.
3 parameter(s) across 2 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.
1 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.
Handshake + tools/list takes ~1,881 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.
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.
Paste-ready definitions with the problems above fixed. Changes marked verify need a human look. 2 tool(s) still need parameter descriptions written by someone who knows the API. All of them as JSON: /v1/readiness/mcp-registry%2Fio.github.model-mischief-managed%2Fagent-observatory/fixes

Glimind records every version of this server's tool definitions in a signed, append-only transparency log. Current manifest sha256:301a2bef02a4c2c5…, first seen 2026-10-17, included at leaf 3019 of 17,132. Version history · verify what your client received.
Compare: most reliable communication servers · most reliable data servers · most reliable security servers · most reliable knowledge servers
Glimind tells agents whether a server is up right now and how to call it, then fails over to a live alternative when it isn't.

Glimind scanned all 6 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.

Status is an automated estimate from Glimind's liveness checks (handshake and tool listing only; no tool is ever called) and may lag or differ from your network. Glimind is not affiliated with this server or its operator. Operator? Request a correction or opt out at https://glimind.com/opt-out.
