What to fix (9)

Loading this server's tool list costs an agent ~83,252 tokens before any work — more than 100% 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.

The endpoint did not complete an MCP handshake.

Check the URL, TLS certificate and that the server answers a JSON-RPC "initialize" POST.

627 of 627 tool(s) carry no readOnlyHint/destructiveHint annotations.

Annotate read-only tools with {"readOnlyHint": true}. Agents and gateways can then run them without a confirmation prompt, and route around destructive ones.

Tools: add_user_list_attribute_values, archive_advertiser, archive_campaign, archive_channel, archive_contract and 622 more

627 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.

306 tool(s) look like they change state (create/send/delete/pay…) but declare no destructiveHint.

Set annotations {"readOnlyHint": false, "destructiveHint": true|false, "idempotentHint": …}. Clients use these to ask the user before a side effect and to auto-approve safe reads.

Tools: archive_advertiser, archive_campaign, archive_channel, archive_contract, archive_email_zone and 301 more

17 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.").

Tools: create_bidder, delete_bidder, delete_channel, delete_contact, delete_contract and 12 more

Reachable 97.3% of the time over the last 30 days; median recovery 3 min.

Agents fail over to an alternative the first time a call fails. Add health checks and restart-on-failure, and avoid cold starts on serverless hosts.

Handshake + tools/list takes ~2,163 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.

Is AdButler safe to connect to an AI agent?

Glimind scanned all 627 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.
