Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v1.1.2
- Disambiguation5/5
The two tools are clearly distinct: 'run' starts a new Codex session, while 'reply' continues an existing one. The descriptions emphasize different purposes, so there is no ambiguity about which tool to use.
Naming Consistency5/5Both tools are named with a single lowercase verb ('run' and 'reply'), following a consistent pattern. There is no mixing of naming conventions or unpredictable styles.
Tool Count3/5With only 2 tools, the server feels thin, especially since it handles session management. However, for the narrow scope of starting and continuing a Codex conversation, the count is reasonable but borderline.
Completeness3/5The core workflow of starting and continuing a session is covered, but there are notable gaps such as listing existing sessions, canceling a run, or retrieving status. This prevents full lifecycle coverage.
Average 3.1/5 across 2 of 2 tools scored.

This repository includes a README.md file.
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, the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only mentions continuing a conversation but does not describe any execution behavior, return format, error conditions, or side effects. This is a significant gap for a tool that likely invokes a long-running process.
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, front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It states the action and required inputs efficiently, making it easy to parse.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having no output schema and 5 parameters, the description is very thin. It doesn't mention what happens after continuing the conversation (e.g., execution, return of results, async behavior), nor does it provide context for when to use this tool. The agent is left with only the bare action and input names, which is insufficient for a tool of this complexity.
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?
All 5 parameters have schema descriptions (100% coverage), so the description adds minimal value beyond the schema. It does mention 'thread id' and 'prompt', reinforcing the essential inputs, but it doesn't explain nuanced behaviors like the optional level or recovery settings beyond what the schema already provides.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool continues a Codex conversation with a specific verb ('Continue'), resource ('Codex conversation'), and required inputs (thread id and prompt). It is distinct from the sibling 'run' though not explicitly differentiated, so it misses the top score for lacking explicit sibling contrast.
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?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus the sibling 'run' or any other alternative. It simply states what it does without explaining context or prerequisites, leaving the agent without decision support.
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?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It adds some behavioral info (streaming, stall detection, auto-recovery), but omits side effects, permission requirements, and session lifecycle. Given the tool's potential to execute code, this is only minimal disclosure.
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?
One concise sentence that front-loads the core purpose and key features. No filler or redundant content, every word provides value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is complex (8 parameters, 3 enums, potentially long-running session) but the description is one line. It fails to explain return values, error handling, or operational considerations. The schema covers parameters but not the overall workflow.
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% with every parameter documented in the input schema. The tool description adds no parameter-specific meaning, so baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (Run) and resource (Codex session), and includes distinctive features like streaming progress and stall detection. It implicitly differentiates from the sibling tool 'reply' but does not explicitly contrast them.
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?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs. the sibling 'reply' tool, nor any exclusions or prerequisites. The description implies running a session but lacks practical context for agent decision-making.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
