- Warning: 16 of 16 tools do not say whether they can change things.
Nothing failed, but there is something to know or fix. Public audit: we connect as an AI client would, list the tools and check what they say. We do not run them. How we audit

What we checked
Security
Passed: Connections are encrypted (HTTPS).
Passed: No hidden instructions found in tool text.
Safety labels
Warning: 16 of 16 tools do not say whether they can change things.
MCP lets a server label each tool as read-only or destructive, so clients can ask the user before risky calls. Unlabelled tools are treated as able to change things.

Tools
Passed: 16 tools listed.
Passed: Every tool describes its inputs with a valid schema.
Protocol
Passed: The MCP handshake works (Streamable HTTP).
Passed: Protocol version 2025-11-25 (latest).
Passed: Unknown requests are refused.
Connection
Passed: The server responds.

As the server describes them. The labels are the server's own: it says whether each tool only reads or can change things.
