Server Quality Checklist

67%
Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.
  • Latest release: v0.1.2

  • Disambiguation5/5

    The two tools serve entirely different functions: lint_sql performs analysis, while list_rules provides reference information. There is no overlap or ambiguity.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    Both tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (lint_sql, list_rules) with lowercase and underscores, making them predictable.

    Tool Count5/5

    With exactly 2 tools, the server is tightly scoped for SQL linting: one core analysis tool and one supporting rule listing tool. This is appropriate for the domain.

    Completeness4/5

    The server covers the primary linting action and rule discovery, but lacks a tool to configure or disable specific rules, which may be needed for practical use. Minor gap.

  • Average 4.2/5 across 2 of 2 tools scored.

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

  • This repository is archived. Archived repositories automatically receive an F maintenance tier.

  • This repository is licensed under MIT License.

  • 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.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?

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

  • 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 what the tool catches (38 rules across categories) and the return format (one JSON object with findings and summary). It implicitly indicates it is non-destructive (linting), though it could be more explicit about being read-only.

    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 a single paragraph that is efficient and front-loaded with the main action. It packs substantial information without wasted words, though it could benefit from slightly better structure for readability.

    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 complexity (38 rules, multiple categories) and the existence of an output schema, the description covers the return type (JSON with findings and summary) adequately. It does not mention error handling, but overall it is sufficiently complete for the agent to use the tool.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, so each parameter is already described in the input schema. The description adds context about the tool's capabilities (rule categories) but does not provide additional parameter-specific details beyond the schema. Baseline 3 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 description clearly states the tool lints a SQL string with sql-sop, lists specific categories of patterns it catches (dangerous, SARGability, T-SQL, Python), and distinguishes from sibling list_rules by being the actual linting tool.

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

    Usage Guidelines4/5

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

    The description explains when to use the tool (to catch dangerous patterns, performance issues, etc.) but does not explicitly state when not to use it or provide alternative scenarios beyond the sibling. However, the usage context is clear and adequate.

    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 are provided, so the description carries full burden. It correctly implies a read-only operation (listing rules) with no side effects, but doesn't elaborate on potential limitations or performance characteristics. Since the tool has no parameters and is simple, the description is minimally adequate.

    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?

    The description is two sentences long, front-loading the core action and following with specific use cases. No redundant words; every sentence adds value.

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

    Completeness5/5

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

    The tool is simple (no parameters, no nested objects) and has an output schema. The description fully explains the purpose and appropriate contexts, leaving no obvious gaps.

    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?

    The tool has zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. The description appropriately omits any parameter details as none exist, and schema coverage is 100%.

    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 'List every rule sql-sop ships with.' It specifies the verb (list) and resource (rules), and distinguishes from the sibling tool lint_sql by mentioning discovery for linting. No ambiguity.

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

    Usage Guidelines4/5

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

    The description provides explicit use cases: explaining findings, picking rules to disable, or discovering what lint_sql can catch. It does not explicitly state when not to use it, but the guidance is clear and contextualizes the tool relative to its sibling.

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