Conversation
- Introduced safety annotations to all tools for MCP directory compliance, including `readOnlyHint`, `destructiveHint`, `idempotentHint`, and `openWorldHint`. - Updated relevant tools to include these annotations, ensuring clear communication of tool behavior and data modification capabilities. - Added documentation on required annotations and their usage patterns to `docs/adding-tools.mdc`.

Resolved conflict in server.ts by: - Keeping inline handler structure from main (cleaner code) - Adding tool.annotations parameter as 4th argument to server.tool() - Respecting main's removal of MCP client metadata fields (mcpClientName, mcpClientVersion, mcpProtocolVersion) per commit 96089be The annotations feature adds MCP directory compliance by marking tools with: - readOnlyHint: Tool doesn't modify data - destructiveHint: Tool may modify/delete existing data - idempotentHint: Repeated calls have no additional effect - openWorldHint: Tool interacts with external services Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>
