What to fix (2)

12 of 12 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: precheck_compare_to_patent, precheck_cpc_suggest, precheck_deliverables, precheck_legal_context, precheck_lookup_patent and 7 more

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 →

Point your MCP client at this streamable-http endpoint: https://patentprecheck.com/mcp

Is the Patent Precheck 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.
