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.
Only one tool exists, so there is no possibility of confusion between tools.
With a single tool, naming is inherently consistent; 'validate_ip' follows a clear verb_noun pattern.
A single tool for a server named 'perplexitybot' is extremely thin; the purpose suggests a broader set of validation or query tools is missing.
The tool only validates IPs against a specific list; many other aspects of PerplexityBot identification (e.g., header checks, user-agent parsing) are absent, leaving significant gaps.
Available Tools
1 toolvalidate_ipValidate PerplexityBot IPAInspect
Check whether an IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) is a genuine PerplexityBot IP address, verified against PerplexityBot's published IP data on seoapi.com.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| ip | Yes | The IPv4 or IPv6 address to validate |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It fails to mention whether the operation is read-only, has side effects, or involves external calls. The return format or success/failure indicators are not described.
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 a single sentence that immediately states the purpose, scope, and verification source. It is front-loaded and contains no superfluous 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?
The tool has one required parameter and no output schema. The description covers the core purpose and verification source but does not explain the output or any error conditions. For a simple validation tool, this is adequate but not fully complete.
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?
Schema description coverage is 100%, and the parameter description is adequate. The tool's main description adds context about the verification source but does not significantly enhance understanding of the parameter beyond the schema.
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 that the tool validates whether an IP address is a genuine PerplexityBot IP, specifying both IPv4 and IPv6, and references the verification source. This provides a specific verb-resource combination with clear scope.
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 explicit guidance on when to use the tool versus alternatives is given. However, since there are no sibling tools, the implied usage is clear. The description lacks any when-not-to-use or prerequisite information.
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
