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 3.5/5 across 1 of 1 tools scored.
With only one tool, there is no possibility of confusion between tools. The agent can unambiguously select this tool for its specific purpose.
The single tool name 'validate_ip' follows a clear verb_noun pattern and is consistent within the set. No other tools exist to create inconsistency.
At one tool, the server is at the lower boundary of reasonable scope. While it serves a focused purpose, it offers very little surface area for an agent, making it borderline thin.
For the narrow domain of verifying Googlebot IP addresses, a single validation tool is complete. There are no obvious missing operations for this specific task.
Available Tools

Check whether an IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) is a genuine Googlebot IP address, verified against Googlebot's published IP data on seoapi.com.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It mentions verification against 'published IP data on seoapi.com', indicating an external dependency, but omits details like rate limits, accuracy, or return format. The behavioral profile is underspecified.
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?
A single sentence that conveys the essential purpose without any wasted words. It is front-loaded and efficient.
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?
For a simple validation tool with one required param and no output schema, the description covers the basic purpose but lacks details about the response format (e.g., boolean, object) or error handling. Adequate but incomplete.
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 input schema fully describes the single parameter (ip) with 'The IPv4 or IPv6 address to validate'. The description adds no new meaning beyond the schema; baseline 3 is appropriate as schema coverage is 100%.
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 clearly states the tool checks whether an IP address is a genuine Googlebot IP, specifying IPv4 and IPv6. The verb 'check' and resource 'IP address' are explicit, and the context (Googlebot IP verification) is specific despite no sibling tools.
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?
The description implies usage for verifying Googlebot IPs but provides no explicit when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or alternatives. Since there are no sibling tools, the lack of exclusion guidance is less critical, but no usage context is given.
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
