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 4/5 across 5 of 5 tools scored.
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no overlap: annual air quality summaries, AQI forecasts, current AQI readings, Superfund sites, and TRI facilities. The tools target different data types (historical vs. forecast vs. current vs. regulatory lists) and different query parameters, making them easily distinguishable.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with 'get_' prefix and descriptive suffixes (e.g., get_annual_air_quality, get_aqi_forecast). The naming is uniform across all five tools, using snake_case throughout without any deviations in style or structure.
Five tools is reasonable for an EPA server covering air quality and toxics, but it feels slightly thin for the broad domain. The tools cover key areas, but additional tools for specific pollutants or detailed site data could enhance completeness without being overwhelming.
The server covers air quality (historical, forecast, current) and toxics (Superfund, TRI) well, but there are notable gaps. Missing operations include updates or deletions (not applicable here), but more critically, there's no tool for detailed pollutant analysis across locations or time-series queries beyond annual summaries, which limits agent flexibility.
Available Tools
5 toolsget_annual_air_qualityInspect
