Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v1.0.0
- Disambiguation5/5
list_tables and query have clearly distinct purposes: one lists table names, the other executes SQL queries. There is no ambiguity or overlap between them.
Naming Consistency4/5Both tool names are verbs, but list_tables follows a verb_noun pattern while query is a standalone verb. This is a minor deviation, not a major inconsistency.
Tool Count3/5With only two tools, the server feels thin at first glance. However, the tools cover the core functionality for a read-only SQLite explorer, making the count borderline but not excessive.
Completeness4/5The tool set provides list_tables for discovery and query for arbitrary read-only SQL, which covers most exploration needs. There is no dedicated schema tool, but query can access sqlite_master, so gaps are minor and workable.
Average 3.9/5 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
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only states the core action ('List all table names') without additional details such as whether authentication is required, whether it is a read-only operation, or any potential side effects. The description adds no behavioral context beyond what the name and title already convey.
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 a single, short sentence ('List all table names.') that directly and efficiently conveys the tool's purpose. There is no wasted wording, and it is immediately understandable.
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 simplicity (no parameters, no output schema), the description provides the essential information: it lists table names. While it does not explicitly state the return format (e.g., array of strings), the phrase 'List all table names' strongly implies the output. The description is adequate for this basic tool, though a slight enhancement could note the output type or any filtering absence.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has zero parameters, so schema description coverage is 100% vacuously. The description adds no parameter details, but none are needed. The baseline for 0 params is 4, and the description appropriately matches the parameterless nature without causing confusion.
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 'List all table names' uses a specific verb ('List') and clearly identifies the resource ('table names') with a clear scope ('all'). It distinguishes this tool from the sibling 'query' by indicating it lists table names rather than querying data.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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. With a sibling tool 'query' present, there is no mention of which operation would be appropriate for different scenarios. The description simply states the function without any usage context or exclusions.
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?
No annotations are provided, but the description explicitly discloses that the tool is read-only, accepts a single statement, and returns JSON. This covers the key safety trait and output behavior, but it does not discuss error handling or result size limits.
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 two sentences that front-load the core purpose and then provide the prerequisite schema-reading instruction. There is no redundant filler.
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?
For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers the core function, read-only safety, return format, and schema learning prerequisite. It lacks details on pagination or error behavior, but these are not critical for basic usage.
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?
The input schema already provides a full description for the sql parameter ('a single read-only SELECT/WITH statement'). The tool description repeats the same information without adding additional semantic detail, so it meets the baseline but does not go beyond.
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 runs a single read-only SQL SELECT/WITH statement and returns rows as JSON. This identifies the specific verb and resource, distinguishing it from the sibling tool list_tables.
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?
It provides a clear usage prerequisite: read the schema://tables and schema://table/{name} resources first. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use this tool or directly reference list_tables as an alternative for listing tables.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
