Server Quality Checklist

58%
Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.

  • Latest release: v0.1.0

  • Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool has a distinct purpose: getting scene info, creating a node, and executing arbitrary code. No overlap in functionality, so an agent can easily differentiate them.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern: get_scene_info, create_node, execute_houdini_code. No mixing of conventions or vague verbs.

    Tool Count3/5

    With only 3 tools, the server feels thin for a comprehensive Houdini integration. However, the generic execute_houdini_code tool expands the scope, making the count borderline acceptable.

    Completeness2/5

    The tool surface is severely incomplete for typical Houdini workflows (e.g., no delete, modify, or connect node tools). The execute_houdini_code tool provides a workaround but undermines the purpose of dedicated tools.

  • Average 3/5 across 3 of 3 tools scored. Lowest: 2.4/5.

    See the Tool Scores section below for per-tool breakdowns.

  • 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.json to 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?

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

  • Behavior2/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    No annotations are provided, so the description must convey behavioral traits. It only states 'Create a new node' without disclosing side effects, permissions, or error conditions. The '(example)' further undermines clarity.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness3/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    The description is a single sentence, which is concise, but the parenthetical '(example)' adds noise without value. It could be more efficient by omitting that phrase.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness1/5

    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 is severely incomplete. It does not explain what node types are available, how parent path works, or what the return value is. The tool's complexity is not addressed.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters1/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It does not mention any parameters (name, node_type, parent_path), their purpose, or constraints. The description adds no value beyond the schema's structural definition.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose4/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description states 'Create a new node in Houdini', which clearly identifies the verb (create) and resource (node in Houdini). It is distinguishable from siblings (get_scene_info, execute_houdini_code), but the '(example)' suffix adds ambiguity and reduces specificity.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines2/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites, and no exclusions. The description provides no context for appropriate usage.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior2/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It merely says 'execute arbitrary Python code' without disclosing side effects, security implications, return behavior, or error handling. This is insufficient for a potentially powerful tool.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness4/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    The description is very concise with a single sentence, which is efficient. However, it could be more informative without sacrificing brevity. The lacking structure is due to under-specification rather than tautology.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the tool has only one parameter and no output schema, the description should at least mention what the tool returns or does with the code. It does not cover these basics, making it incomplete for an agent to use correctly.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters1/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no meaning beyond the parameter name 'code'. It does not explain what the code should do, any expected format, or constraints. The agent receives no additional insight.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description clearly states it executes arbitrary Python code in Houdini's environment, using a specific verb ('execute') and resource ('Python code in Houdini'). It distinguishes from sibling tools (get_scene_info, create_node) which have different purposes.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines2/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites, no when-to-use or when-not-to-use information. The agent is left to infer usage from context alone.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior3/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    No annotations provided. The description discloses that the tool returns JSON as a string, implying a read-only operation, but does not elaborate on what scene info is retrieved or any potential side effects.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness5/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    Extremely concise with two sentences. First sentence states purpose, second adds return format. No unnecessary words.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness4/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the tool's simplicity (zero parameters, no output schema), the description is mostly complete. However, 'scene info' is vague and could benefit from a brief example of what is returned.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters4/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    No parameters exist, so schema coverage is 100%. The description does not need to add param details. Baseline score of 4 is appropriate.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The tool name and description clearly state it retrieves scene info from Houdini. It distinguishes well from sibling tools like create_node and execute_houdini_code, which perform different actions.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines2/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. The description does not mention any prerequisites or typical use cases.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
