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 2 of 2 tools scored.
The two tools, preflight and watch, have entirely distinct purposes: one performs a one-time check of a domain's AI publishing files, and the other sets up ongoing monitoring for changes. There is no overlap or ambiguity between them.
Both tool names are single verbs (preflight, watch), which is consistent in being imperative actions. However, they lack a noun object for clarity, which is a minor deviation from a strict verb_noun pattern.
Two tools is appropriate for the focused scope of preflight checks and monitoring. The count feels slightly minimal but not insufficient, as the service is purpose-built.
The tools cover the core actions—checking and subscribing—but lack a tool to manage or list active watches, relying on external URLs instead. This creates a notable gap in the MCP tool surface.

What a domain publishes for AI agents before you touch it: ai-catalog.json (ARD), llms.txt, agents.md, and its robots.txt directives for AI bots (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended…). Served from the Desvela ARD index when fresh (<7 days), live-checked otherwise. Free.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description mentions data source (index vs live-check) and that the tool is free, but with no annotations provided, it does not disclose potential rate limits, auth requirements, or error handling (e.g., invalid domain).
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 two sentences long, front-loads the purpose, and contains no filler words. Every sentence provides useful 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?
For a simple read-only tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers the return content, data freshness, and cost. It could mention that it's non-destructive, but overall it is sufficiently 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?
The schema has one parameter 'domain' with a pattern but no description. The description does not add extra meaning about the parameter beyond implying it is a domain name. Since schema coverage is 0%, more detail would help.
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 retrieves a domain's AI agent publications (ai-catalog.json, llms.txt, agents.md, robots.txt directives). It differentiates from the sibling 'watch' by implying a one-time check ('before you touch it').
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 phrase 'before you touch it' implies a preliminary one-shot check, contrasting with the sibling 'watch' (likely for monitoring). However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or provide direct alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
watchWatch a domain for agent-surface changesAInspect
Subscribe to a domain: get a signed webhook (X-Desvela-Signature, HMAC-SHA256) when what it publishes for AI agents changes — ai-catalog.json entries added/changed/gone, llms.txt or agents.md edited or removed, robots.txt AI-bot directives changed. Checked weekly against the Desvela ARD index. Returns a manage_token (GET/DELETE https://registry.desvela.dev/watch/{id}) and the signing secret — store both.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| domain | Yes | ||
| webhook_url | Yes | HTTPS endpoint that will receive signed change notifications |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the burden and does well: it discloses the signed webhook (HMAC-SHA256), specific change triggers, weekly check frequency, and return values (manage_token, secret, and endpoints). Missing details on rate limits, authentication requirements, or what happens if domain is invalid, but still transparent for a subscription tool.
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 packs essential information: action, webhook signature, trigger events, frequency, and return values. It is concise but could be broken into shorter sentences for readability. No fluff, but slightly dense.
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?
Given no output schema, the description covers return values (manage_token, secret) and management endpoints (GET/DELETE URL). It explains the webhook signature and detection scope. Missing details on webhook payload format or how to use the manage token, but sufficient for core functionality.
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 coverage is 50% (only webhook_url has a description). The tool description adds context about the domain (the domain to watch) but doesn't explain the pattern or provide examples. For webhook_url, the schema already says 'HTTPS endpoint', and the description reinforces it. Overall, adds some value but incomplete for the domain parameter.
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 subscribes to a domain for changes, enumerates what changes are detected (ai-catalog.json, llms.txt, agents.md, robots.txt), and mentions the signed webhook mechanism. It distinguishes from the sibling 'preflight' by being a subscription tool rather than a test or validation tool.
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 use when wanting to be notified of domain changes for AI agents, but lacks explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. No mention of prerequisites or comparison with the sibling tool 'preflight' (e.g., suggesting preflight for testing before subscribing).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
