| REDSHIFT_DATABASE | Yes | The Redshift database name | |
| REDSHIFT_PASSWORD | Yes | The Redshift password |
Instructions
Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.
This server publishes no instructions, or was last inspected before Glama recorded them.

TDQS
Scored across 5 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no overlap: connection status check, table description, data sampling, table listing, and query execution. The descriptions reinforce these distinct roles, making tool selection straightforward for an agent.
All tools follow a consistent 'redshift_' prefix with descriptive snake_case names (e.g., redshift_describe_table, redshift_query). This predictable pattern enhances readability and reduces cognitive load for users or agents.
With 5 tools, the server is well-scoped for basic Redshift database interactions, covering essential operations like connection, metadata, and querying. It could be slightly expanded to include more advanced features (e.g., data modification), but the current count is reasonable for its purpose.
The toolset covers core read-only operations (status, metadata, querying) but lacks data manipulation tools (e.g., insert, update, delete) and schema management (e.g., create table). This creates gaps for agents needing full CRUD capabilities, though basic exploration and querying are well-supported.
