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 3.4/5 across 9 of 9 tools scored.
Each tool serves a distinct purpose: retrieving text, metadata, structure, links, versions, table of contents, topics, search, and calendar schedules. There is no ambiguity or overlap between their functions.
All tool names follow a clear 'verb_noun' pattern using underscores (e.g., get_text, search_texts). The convention is consistent across the entire set, with only the verb 'get' being reused uniformly except for 'search' which is a different action.
With 9 tools, the server covers the essential operations for a text library without being overwhelming. Each tool is justified for its use case, and the count is well-scoped for the domain.
The tool set provides comprehensive coverage for accessing and searching the Sefaria library: text retrieval, metadata, structure, links, versions, navigation via table of contents and topics, search, and daily learning schedules. No obvious gaps are present.
