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 4 of 4 tools scored. Lowest: 3.4/5.
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: retrieving a single record by ID, listing categories, listing modes (optionally filtered), and searching by symptom text. No overlap or ambiguity.
All names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case: get_failure_mode, list_categories, list_modes, search_failure_modes. The pattern is uniform and predictable.
Four tools is well-scoped for a read-only taxonomy explorer: one for retrieval, two for listing (categories and modes), and one for search. Each tool earns its place.
The tool surface covers all essential operations for exploring failure modes: listing categories, listing modes, searching, and getting details. No obvious gaps for the stated domain.
