Scored across 6 tools
Each tool targets a distinct marine leisure activity—beach, fishing, mudflat, scuba, sea parting, and surfing—so there is no functional overlap or ambiguity.
All tools follow the exact pattern korea_<activity>_index with snake_case and consistent suffixes, making the naming highly predictable.
Six tools form a focused, well-scoped set for Korean ocean leisure indexes, covering major activities without unnecessary redundancy.
The set covers the most common coastal leisure activities in Korea; minor additions like snorkeling or windsurfing could be imagined, but the current surface is reasonably complete.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only lists the data returned (water temp, wave height, etc.) but does not disclose whether it is a read-only operation, how filtering by date/place works, whether pagination is involved, or the response format. This is a significant gap for a tool with no annotation coverage.
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, concise sentence that directly states the tool's purpose and the data fields it returns. It avoids unnecessary verbosity and gets to the point. However, it is not front-loaded with the most critical usage context (like how to select parameters), but for what it covers, it is appropriately sized.
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?
With 3 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description should provide substantial context. It only lists data categories without explaining parameter interactions, the meaning of '종합 판정' (overall assessment), or any example usage. This is inadequate for an agent to correctly invoke the tool and interpret results.
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 only 33% (only 'place' has a description). The tool description adds no explanation for 'date' or 'limit' parameters, nor does it clarify their purpose, formats, or constraints. It completely fails to compensate for the low schema coverage, leaving agents with insufficient information to correctly fill these parameters.
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 provides a Korean beach index with specific metrics (water temperature, wave height, air temperature, open/close status, and overall assessment). It identifies the domain as 'beach' and the specific data fields, distinguishing it from sibling tools focused on fishing, surfing, etc., though it doesn't explicitly name alternatives. This is more than a tautology of the tool name.
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 gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus its siblings (korea_fishing_index, korea_surfing_index, etc.). It only describes the output content, not the context of use, selection criteria, or any exclusions. An agent would have to infer when to call this based solely on the name, which is insufficient.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It describes what data the tool returns and implies a read-only query operation ('answers' a question), but it does not explicitly state that it performs no mutations, require no authentication, or have any side effects. The absence of such explicit disclosure is a minor gap, but the nature of an 'index' tool suggests non-destructive behavior.
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 concise, two sentences, and front-loads the core purpose and key outputs. It avoids fluff and is well-structured. It could be slightly more structured by separating the purpose from the details, but it is efficient and readable.
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 the tool is a query with four optional parameters and no output schema, the description provides a solid overview of what the result will contain (species, tides, wave, temp, wind, overall judgment, and type distinction). It does not specify the exact response format, but for a simple lookup tool this is sufficient. The absence of annotations is compensated by the clear scope and expected outputs.
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%, so all four parameters (date, kind, limit, place) are already documented in the schema. The description does not add any additional meaning about parameter usage, formats, or relationships. It meets the baseline but does not go beyond what the schema provides.
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 states a specific verb ('answers where should I go fishing') and resource (Korea fishing index), and enumerates the data it provides (target species, tidal times, wave height, water temp, wind speed, overall judgment). It clearly distinguishes from sibling indexes by focusing on fishing, but it does not explicitly name an alternative or contrast with them, so it falls short of a perfect 5.
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 '오늘 어디 낚시 갈만한가' (where should I go fishing today) gives an implied usage context, but the description does not state when not to use it, what alternatives exist (e.g., beach or scuba indexes), or any prerequisites. Usage guidance is present but only implicit, not explicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It explains that the tool provides start/end times, weather, wind speed, and a final recommendation based on tide conditions, giving a clear picture of behavior and output. It does not mention side effects or limitations, but for a read-only index tool this is sufficient.
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, compact sentence that covers the tool's purpose, key inputs (village, date), and output aspects (times, weather, wind, judgment). No redundant or vague wording; it is efficient and directly informative.
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?
No output schema is provided, so the description must convey what the tool returns. It mentions start/end times, weather, wind, and overall judgment, which is enough for an agent to understand the response type. It does not specify the exact format (e.g., JSON structure), but given the niche use case, this level of detail is adequate.
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 descriptions cover 'date' with format and 'place' with example, but 'limit' has no description. The tool description itself adds no further clarification about parameters, especially 'limit'. With 67% schema coverage (2 of 3 parameters described), it falls in the middle; the description does not compensate for the missing 'limit' explanation.
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 it provides a mudflat experience index, including available times, weather, wind, and overall judgment based on tides. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like beach or surfing indexes by explicitly naming 'mudflat' as the subject.
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 for mudflat-related queries but does not explicitly compare with alternatives (e.g., 'use this for mudflat, not beach'). Since it is part of a series of similar 'korea_*_index' tools, explicit guidance would help but is not provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose side effects, data source, update frequency, read-only status, or any limitations. The tool appears to be a query/index operation, but this is not explicitly stated.
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, concise sentence with no redundant or irrelevant content. It efficiently communicates the tool's purpose and key data categories.
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 description gives a high-level summary of output content but lacks essential context for a caller: parameter semantics, input expectations, output format, and any usage prerequisites. Without this, an agent cannot reliably invoke the tool.
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 parameters (date, limit, place) have no descriptions, and the description only loosely implies the 'place' parameter via 'diving area'. There is no explanation of accepted formats, units, defaults, or required combinations.
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 identifies the tool as a Korea scuba index and specifies the content areas (diving area, water temperature, wave height, current speed, tide, comprehensive assessment). It is sufficiently distinct from the sibling beach/fishing/surfing indices.
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 does not state when to use this tool versus the sibling index tools, nor does it provide any conditions or scenarios for invocation. Usage must be inferred entirely from the tool name and content summary.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description carries the burden. It clearly indicates an informational read-only behavior ('알려준다'), with no hints of side effects or destructive actions. However, it does not explicitly confirm non-mutating or safe behavior, leaving slight ambiguity.
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, focused sentence with no redundant information. It is appropriately sized and front-loaded with the essential purpose.
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 description provides core functionality but omits details on return format, required parameter combinations, or any constraints (e.g., date format, limit bounds). Given no output schema, this lack of context reduces completeness for an agent seeking to invoke the tool correctly.
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 low (only 'place' has a description, 33%). The main description does not explain 'date' or 'limit', leaving their purpose and format unclear. The description compensates partially for 'place' with an example but fails to clarify the other parameters.
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 provides sea parting index times and judgments for specific locations, distinguishing it from sibling tools focused on beach, fishing, mudflat, scuba, and surfing indexes. The verb '알려준다' (informs) is specific and resource-oriented.
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 sea parting information (e.g., Jindo and Jebudo) but does not explicitly state when to choose this tool over siblings or provide any usage conditions. It relies on domain inference rather than explicit guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description must carry the full burden. It describes the output (wave height, period, etc.), which indicates what the tool returns, but it does not disclose any side effects, permissions, or safety aspects (e.g., read-only nature). The behavioral information is limited to the output content, not broader behavioral traits.
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, concise sentence that packs a lot of information without unnecessary words. It is well-structured and immediately conveys the tool's scope and key outputs.
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 description gives a good overview of the output fields but lacks details on input parameters and usage context. Given that the tool is relatively simple, the description is adequate for understanding its overall function, but it leaves gaps regarding parameter meanings and any constraints, making it only partially 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 description coverage is very low (only 1 out of 3 parameters has a description, i.e., 33%). The tool description does not explain the meaning of 'date', 'limit', or 'place' beyond the single hint for 'place' in the schema. Since the description does not compensate for the missing parameter explanations, parameter semantics are essentially absent.
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's purpose: it provides a surf index for Korea, detailing wave height, period, water temperature, wind, recommended skill level, and overall assessment per surf point. It explicitly mentions 'surfing' which distinguishes it from the sibling tools (beach, fishing, mudflat, scuba, seaparting).
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?
There is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description implies it is for surf-related information, but it does not mention any conditions for selection or provide contrast with sibling tools. No 'use this when' or 'instead of' statements are present.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Frequently Asked Questions
Claiming proves that you control a remote MCP connector. It does not move, proxy, or interrupt the server.
Open the connector listing, choose Claim ownership, and sign in to Glama.
Complete one verification method:
GitHub identity – fastest for official registry listings. For a namespace such as
io.github.alice/server, link the matching GitHub user, then choose Claim with GitHub. An organization namespace such asio.github.acme/serveralso needs that organization to have installed the Glama AI GitHub App and approved its permissions, because GitHub discloses organization membership only to apps it has installed. Use HTTP or DNS when it has not.HTTP challenge – works when you can deploy a public file. Generate a token, publish the exact JSON Glama shows at
/.well-known/glama.jsonon the same origin as the connector, then choose Check HTTP challenge.DNS challenge – works when you control DNS but cannot change the server. Generate a token, create the exact TXT record Glama shows, wait for it to propagate, then choose Check DNS challenge.
After verification, Glama sends a confirmation email and gives you access to listing details, thumbnails, health checks, and analytics. Keep the HTTP file or DNS record in place: Glama periodically checks it and ownership remains verified while the token is discoverable.
The HTTP ownership file has this structure:
{
"$schema": "https://glama.ai/mcp/schemas/connector.json",
"claim": "glama_claim_..."
}Claim tokens are opaque, stable, and bound to the signed-in Glama account. They contain no email address or other personal information. If Glama can no longer discover a verified HTTP or DNS token, it starts a seven-day grace period before removing claim-based access. Restore the same token during that period to keep ownership verified. Never publish an email address, Glama session token, GitHub token, or connector credential as ownership proof.
If verification fails, confirm that you copied the current token exactly. The HTTP file must be public, return valid JSON with a successful HTTP response, and stay on the connector's origin. DNS changes may need more time to propagate. A claim cannot transfer to a different origin or hostname: if the connector target changes, Glama starts the grace period and the new target must be claimed separately after the previous claim is released.
For a connector linked to the official MCP Registry, registry updates continue to replace its name, description, and URL by default. After claiming, open Manage connector and enable Use Glama listing details as the source of truth if edits made on Glama should be preserved. Categories and thumbnails are always managed on Glama; registry linkage and technical connection settings continue to sync.
