Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.1.2
- Disambiguation5/5
The two tools address entirely different hazard types (flood vs landslide), with no overlap in their functionality. Clear distinction.
Naming Consistency5/5Both tools follow the same 'hent_' + hazard type pattern, using snake_case and Norwegian, providing a predictable naming convention.
Tool Count4/5With only 2 tools, the server is very narrow in scope. However, this may be appropriate for a focused hazard query service, though it feels slightly thin.
Completeness3/5The server covers the two main hazard queries (flood and landslide) but lacks other potential hazard types (e.g., storm surge, wildfire) and has no data manipulation tools. Adequate for its stated purpose but not comprehensive.
Average 4.1/5 across 2 of 2 tools scored.

No tool usage detected in the last 30 days. Usage tracking helps demonstrate server value.
Tip: use the "Try in Browser" feature on the server page to seed initial usage.
Add a glama.json file to provide metadata about your server.
If you are the author, simply .
If the server belongs to an organization, first add
glama.jsonto the root of your repository:{ "$schema": "https://glama.ai/mcp/schemas/server.json", "maintainers": [ "your-github-username" ] }Then . Browse examples.
Add related servers to improve discoverability.
How to sync the server with GitHub?
Servers are automatically synced at least once per day, but you can also sync manually at any time to instantly update the server profile.
To manually sync the server, click the "Sync Server" button in the MCP server admin interface.
How is the quality score calculated?
The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).
Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.
Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).
Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.
Tool Scores
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavior. It explains the return value structure (hits per type, decoded type, mapping status) and distinguishes 'no hits' from 'not mapped'. However, it lacks details on error handling, rate limits, or authentication. Given the simplicity, the transparency is adequate but not exceptional.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with three sentences that cover purpose, return value, and data source. No redundant or irrelevant information. Front-loaded with the core action.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's low complexity (2 required parameters, no output schema), the description adequately covers input, output semantics, and data provenance. It could mention potential errors for out-of-range coordinates, but the schema constraints partially address that. Overall complete for its purpose.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% as both parameters (lat, lon) have descriptions in the schema. The tool description does not add further meaning beyond the schema's parameter descriptions, so it meets the baseline of 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'sjekk' (check) and the resource 'skred-aktsomhetsområder' (avalanche hazard areas). It specifies the coordinate system (WGS84) and lists covered hazard types. The sibling tool 'hent_flomaktsomhet' is for flood hazard, providing clear differentiation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies when to use it (to check if a coordinate lies in avalanche hazard areas). It does not explicitly state when not to use it or provide alternatives beyond the sibling, but the context of hazard types and coordinate checking is clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses that the tool distinguishes between 'no hit' and 'not mapped' and mentions the source and geographic scope. It does not clarify read-only nature but implies safety through lookup operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the main action, and efficient. Every sentence adds value: what it checks, what it returns, and the source.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema, but description explains the key return distinction (no hit vs. not mapped). It does not specify exact format but is adequate for a lookup tool with two numeric parameters.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description does not add parameter-level details beyond what schema provides (WGS84, examples). It reinforces the coordinate system but adds minimal semantic value.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool checks if a coordinate lies within NVE's flood risk area and detailed flood zone. It distinguishes from the sibling tool 'hent_skredaktsomhet' (landslide) by specifying flood-related functionality.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear context (checking flood risk for coordinates) but does not explicitly state when to use this tool vs. the sibling tool. However, the purpose is distinct enough that an agent can infer usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
