What to fix (7)

Loading this server's tool list costs an agent ~94,030 tokens before any work — more than 99% of MCP servers.

Split rarely-used tools into a separate server or a toolset the client can enable, or expose one "search tools" entry point. Many agents load every connected server's tools into every request. How to fix →

381 tools on one server. Tool-selection accuracy drops as the menu grows, and some clients (e.g. Cursor) cap the number of active tools.

Group tools by task into smaller servers or toolsets, and merge near-duplicates behind one tool with a mode parameter. How to fix →

28 parameter(s) across 12 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. How to fix →

Tools: affordable_housing_refinance_evidence_pack, earthquake_recent, flood_zone_lookup, fmcsa_carrier_authority, fmcsa_carrier_lookup and 7 more

1 tool(s) have parameters with no type (no type/enum/anyOf/$ref).

Give every parameter a "type" (or "enum"/"anyOf"). Untyped parameters make models guess — strings for numbers, objects for arrays. How to fix →

Tools: carrier_monitor_recheck

Handshake + tools/list takes ~2,072 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. How to fix →

In the last 30 days: 0 tool(s) removed and 221 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 →

Auto-fix: 1 corrected tool definition

Paste-ready definitions with the problems above fixed. Changes marked verify need a human look. 12 tool(s) still need parameter descriptions written by someone who knows the API. All of them as JSON: /v1/readiness/mcp-registry%2Fio.github.blackboxfoundry%2Flivedatalink/fixes

Is the Blackboxfoundry Livedatalink MCP server safe to connect to an AI agent?

Glimind scanned all 381 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.
