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.

TDQS
Scored across 30 tools
Several clusters expose near-duplicate tools for the same task: curl_request/httpie_request/api_test, nslookup_query/dig_query/host_lookup, telnet_connect/netcat_test, and nmap_scan/port_scan/service_discovery/service_enumeration. Without a clear preference rule, an agent will struggle to reliably select the right tool among command-wrapper alternatives.
Most tool names use snake_case and follow an action+target or noun+target pattern such as ping_host, tls_certificate_check, and reverse_dns_lookup. There are minor outliers like health and api_test, but no chaotic style mixing.
At 30 tools, the surface is heavy for the apparent scope and is inflated by redundant command-wrapper alternatives such as dig/nslookup/host, ss/netstat, and nmap/port_scan. The set could be consolidated substantially without losing core capability.
The set covers broad network diagnostics: HTTP/API testing, DNS, connectivity checks, port/service scanning, TLS inspection, WHOIS, ARP, connection listings, and system resource status. Some common netops areas like interface stats, routing tables, and packet capture are missing, but the core read-only troubleshooting surface is fairly complete.
