Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v1.1.1
- Disambiguation5/5
The two tools have completely distinct purposes: one provides the format specification, the other generates the slide deck. No overlap in functionality.
Naming Consistency5/5Both tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern: 'generate_slide_deck' and 'get_slide_format'. Conventions are uniform.
Tool Count3/5With only 2 tools, the server feels minimal. While it covers the core workflow (get format, generate), the count is low for a full-featured service, but not extreme.
Completeness3/5The tool set covers the essential flow: fetch format then generate. However, it lacks tools for managing or revising decks, leaving notable gaps for repeated use.
Average 4.6/5 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
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description must bear full burden. It states the tool returns JSON with specific fields, but does not explicitly declare it as read-only or side-effect-free, nor mention any auth or rate limits. The nature of the tool is apparent, but some behavioral detail is missing.
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?
Two sentences, front-loaded with action and purpose. Every sentence provides essential information with no redundancy or waste.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description fully specifies the return structure (layout_tags, surface_syntax, example_markdown, limits). This is complete for a simple format-fetching tool with zero parameters.
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?
No parameters exist (0 params, 100% schema coverage). Baseline is 4. The description adds value by listing the return fields (layout_tags, surface_syntax, etc.), which helps the agent interpret the output beyond the empty schema.
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 fetches the authoritative Deckrun slide format specification, with specific verb 'Fetch' and resource 'slide format specification'. It distinguishes from sibling 'generate_slide_deck' by indicating this is a preliminary step.
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?
Explicitly says 'Call this first to learn... before writing slides', providing clear when to use. Does not explicitly state when not to use or mention alternatives aside from the implied sibling tool.
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 provided, so description carries full burden. Discloses return values (url with expiry, slug, slides count, warnings, schema_version) and non-fatal notices. Could mention whether operation is destructive, but creation is implied.
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?
Concise, well-structured sentences. Front-loads main action, then details prerequisites, return fields, and limits. No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Complete for a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema. Covers prerequisites, limits, return values, and warnings. No gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage 100% with one parameter. Description adds crucial formatting constraint (must start with title slide using specific comment) and reiterates limits beyond schema.
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?
Clearly states it converts Deckrun Markdown into a PDF slide deck, distinct from sibling get_slide_format which teaches the format.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly instructs to call get_slide_format first, provides limits (max 10 slides, 50 KB), and explains return fields including warnings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
