What to fix (2)

1 tool definition(s) exceed ~1,200 tokens each (largest: render_gradient, ~2,215).

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 ~1,615 tokens every session. How to fix →

Tools: render_gradient · saves ~1,615 tokens/session

In the last 30 days: 0 tool(s) removed and 6375 schema change(s).

Add new tools or optional parameters instead of renaming or removing; deprecate first (say so in the description) and remove later. Agents cache tool contracts. How to fix →

How do I install Gradients MCP server?

Point your MCP client at this streamable-http endpoint: https://www.gradients.studio/mcp

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

Glimind scanned all 3 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.
