Glama MCP Gateway
Connect through Glama MCP Gateway for full control over tool access and complete visibility into every call.
Full call logging
Every tool call is logged with complete inputs and outputs, so you can debug issues and audit what your agents are doing.
Tool access control
Enable or disable individual tools per connector, so you decide what your agents can and cannot do.
Managed credentials
Glama handles OAuth flows, token storage, and automatic rotation, so credentials never expire on your clients.
Usage analytics
See which tools your agents call, how often, and when, so you can understand usage patterns and catch anomalies.
Tool Definition Quality
Average 1/5 across 1 of 1 tools scored.
With only one tool, there is no possibility for confusion or overlap. The single tool's purpose is clearly unique by default.
The tool name 'get_fetch_media' is internally inconsistent, combining two synonymous verbs ('get' and 'fetch') into one name. This violates standard verb_noun naming conventions and creates unnecessary redundancy.
A YouTube downloader API with exactly one tool is far too thin for the apparent scope. The tool count rule penalizes having only a single tool for a domain that clearly requires multiple operations.
The server's purpose is to be a YouTube downloader API, yet it only exposes 'fetch_media'. There are no operations for actual downloading, format selection, status tracking, or cancellation, leaving the surface severely incomplete.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description carries full responsibility for disclosing behavior. It only mentions billing, not side effects, permissions, return values, or any operational traits. The agent cannot infer what happens when the tool is called.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely short, but this is under-specification rather than conciseness. The single sentence adds no informative value; it merely repeats the tool name and a billing note. It wastes the opportunity to convey essential information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Even though the tool is simple (one parameter, no output schema), the description is completely inadequate. It fails to explain what media is fetched, how the URL is processed, or what the expected outcome is. The agent has no basis to determine if this tool is suitable for a task.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has one parameter 'url' with an example, but the description does not mention it at all. With schema description coverage at 0%, the description should compensate, but it adds no meaning beyond the schema's existence. The URL's purpose and format are unexplained.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description only repeats the tool name and mentions billing ('fetch_media Billing per call: 1 Credits.'). It does not state what the tool does, what resource it acts on, or what 'fetch_media' means in terms of behavior. This is a tautology, failing to clarify the purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No usage guidance is provided. There is no indication of when to use this tool, what problem it solves, or any alternative tools. The description offers zero context for appropriate invocation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

The connector status is unhealthy when Glama is unable to successfully connect to the server. This can happen for several reasons:
The server is experiencing an outage
The URL of the server is wrong
Credentials required to access the server are missing or invalid
