}We read every tool's name, description and inputs the way the model will, looking for instructions hidden from you. A clean result means no warning signs, not a guarantee. Scanned Nov 4, 2026.
No readOnlyHint / destructiveHint annotations, so clients can't tell a read from a write without asking.
Fix: Add annotations to each tool, e.g. { readOnlyHint: true } for tools that only read.
