What to fix (5)

48 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 →

8 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. How to fix →

Tools: author, authors_search, conferences_search, institutions_search, literature

1 tool(s) have descriptions under 20 characters.

Say when to use the tool and what it returns, not just its name restated ("Get weather" → "Current weather for a city: temperature, conditions, wind. Use for 'now', not forecasts."). How to fix →

Tools: search

Loading this server's tool list costs an agent ~17,786 tokens before any work — more than 95% 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 →

In the last 30 days: 0 tool(s) removed and 16 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 →

Get alerted

Get an email or webhook when this server's readiness drops by 10+ points, tool-poisoning text appears, or a tool breaks:

curl -X POST https://glimind.com/v1/subscriptions -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"tools":["mcp-registry/io.github.pipeworx-io/inspire-hep"],"email":"[email protected]"}'

Agents: watch_tool({"toolId": "mcp-registry/io.github.pipeworx-io/inspire-hep"}) over MCP.

Is the Pipeworx Io Inspire Hep MCP server safe to connect to an AI agent?

Glimind scanned all 48 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.
