Handshake succeeds; 18 tools listable

These tools are listed anonymously and their own descriptions ask for an account or key, but no challenge is issued — so a client has nothing to act on and the refusal arrives as a tool error.

What the probe found

warningTools needing credentials are listed without a challenge

2 of the 18 tools listed anonymously say in their own descriptions that they need an account or a key (list_monitored_cases_tool, list_plans_tool), but the endpoint issued no WWW-Authenticate challenge. The requirement is stated only in prose, so a call reaches the tool and comes back as a tool error instead of an authorization step.

No CORS headers for browser-based clients

A cross-origin preflight came back without Access-Control-Allow-Origin, so the endpoint is reachable from native clients only — code running in a web page is stopped by the browser before a request is ever sent.
