Instructions
Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.

Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct role: search the catalog, inspect a specific operation, execute read-only GET calls, and execute mutating calls. The descriptions explicitly guide the agent to inspect schemas before execution, preventing confusion between inspection and execution. There is no overlap in purpose.
All tools share the clickup_ prefix and use snake_case, which is consistent. However, two tools follow a verb_noun pattern (search_operations, get_operation) while two are bare verbs (read, write), and the noun is sometimes plural and sometimes singular. This is a minor deviation but still readable and predictable.
Four tools is well-scoped for an API abstraction layer that covers discovery, inspection, and execution of both read and write operations. Each tool earns its place without redundancy, and the count is neither thin nor bloated.
The set covers the full lifecycle of interacting with the ClickUp API catalog: discover operations, inspect their schemas, execute GET requests, and execute POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE requests with file upload support. No obvious gaps remain for an agent to accomplish typical API tasks.
