What to fix (5)

8 of 8 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.

Tools: book_courier, check_stock, get_stores, get_todays_deals, place_cart_order and 3 more

23 parameter(s) across 5 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.

Tools: book_courier, get_stores, place_cart_order, place_order, shop_and_deliver

3 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.

Tools: book_courier, place_cart_order, place_order

Handshake + tools/list takes ~1,671 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.

Auto-fix: 7 corrected tool definitions

Paste-ready definitions with the problems above fixed. Changes marked verify need a human look. 5 tool(s) still need parameter descriptions written by someone who knows the API. All of them as JSON: /v1/readiness/mcp-registry%2Fstore.buynearby%2Fmcp/fixes

Is the Buynearby MCP server safe to connect to an AI agent?

Glimind scanned all 8 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.
