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.

Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| compressA | Compress text/JSON/CSV data. Returns base64-encoded compressed data with compression ratio. Use algorithm="auto" to pick the best compression. |
| decompressA | Decompress previously compressed data. Requires the base64 compressed data and the algorithm used. |
| analyzeA | Analyze how compressible data is. Shows best algorithm, compression ratio, entropy, and recommendation. Use this before deciding whether to compress. |
| storeA | Compress data and store it to disk with a key. Retrieve later with the key. Like a compressed key-value store for agents. |
| retrieveA | Retrieve and decompress previously stored data by key. |
| listA | List all stored compressed items with their keys, sizes, and compression ratios. |
| statsA | Show compression statistics: total items stored, bytes saved, overall compression ratio. |
| quantizeA | TurboQuant: Extreme compression for numerical data (prices, sensor readings, embeddings, vectors). Based on Google TurboQuant (ICLR 2026). Converts numbers to 1-4 bits using random rotation + quantization. Lossy but near-zero error on correlated data. |
| dequantizeB | Decompress TurboQuant-compressed numerical data back to numbers. |

Scored across 9 tools
Tools have distinct purposes (analysis, compression, storage), but compress and quantize could be confused by an agent without careful reading. Descriptions help clarify their different use cases.
All tool names are single-word imperative verbs (analyze, compress, quantize, etc.), following a consistent pattern without mixing conventions.
9 tools is an appropriate scope for a compression server, covering analysis, compression, storage, and statistics without being overwhelming.
Covers core compression workflows well, but lacks a 'delete' tool for stored items, which is a minor gap for managing the key-value store.
