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.
Average 4.1/5 across 13 of 15 tools scored.
Each tool targets a distinct resource and action, with no overlap. Account stats and app stats are clearly differentiated by scope. Channel details, history, presence, and presence history are all separate operations.
All tools follow the 'ably_verb_noun' pattern consistently (e.g., ably_get_account_stats, ably_list_channels, ably_publish_message). The only slight deviation is ably_whoami, which is a common single-word name, but it still fits the pattern.
15 tools is well-scoped for a real-time messaging platform, covering both control plane (account/app management) and data plane operations. Each tool earns its place without feeling excessive or sparse.
The toolset is heavily read-only: it provides list/get operations for control plane resources (apps, keys, namespaces, queues, rules) but lacks create, update, or delete tools. Publishing is the only write operation. This is a significant gap for full lifecycle management.
