Server Configuration
Describes the environment variables required to run the server.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI2ROBOT_ROS2 | No | Enable ROS2 mode (real topics/services via a Python sidecar). Set to 1 to run with the sidecar. | 0 |
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 |
|---|---|
| list_topicsA | List available ROS2 topics. |
| read_topicB | Read the latest value of a ROS2 topic. |
| call_serviceB | Call a ROS2 service (e.g. cmd_vel to move the robot). |
| robot_statusA | Convenience: read status, GPS and telemetry in one call. |
| wrap_proofC | Wrap current robot telemetry into an ai2robot proof bundle draft (hash-chained action log). |
| chain_fingerprintA | Return the SHA-256 fingerprint of the proof draft for a task. |

Scored across 6 tools
Each tool targets a distinct aspect of the robot: listing topics, reading from a topic, invoking a service, aggregated status, proof bundle creation, and fingerprint hashing. There is no meaningful overlap that would cause misselection.
Most tools follow a verb_noun pattern (list_topics, read_topic, call_service, wrap_proof), but robot_status and chain_fingerprint are noun phrases, creating a minor deviation. The pattern is still readable and mostly predictable.
Six tools is well-scoped for a ROS2 interface that covers topic access, service calls, telemetry aggregation, and proof generation. The count feels appropriate for the apparent purpose without bloat or thinness.
Core functionality like reading topics and calling services is present, but there are notable gaps: no way to publish to topics, no service discovery or type introspection, and no node listing. The proof tools are an extra feature but do not compensate for missing standard ROS2 operations.
