| DENON_PORT | No | Telnet port for the Denon AVR control protocol (default: 23). | 23 |
| DENON_CONFIG | No | Path to a YAML configuration file containing 'denon.host' and 'denon.port'. Overrides default configuration file paths. |
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.

Scored across 10 tools
Most tools target distinct actions: volume control, mute control, power control, status, and input selection. The only minor overlap is mute_on/mute_off/mute_toggle, where toggle is redundant with the explicit setter tools, but descriptions are clear enough to avoid serious confusion.
Tool names mostly follow a predictable snake_case pattern with noun prefixes like volume_, mute_, power_. Minor inconsistency exists with get_status and set_input, which place the verb first, but this is still readable and clearly structured.
Ten tools is well-scoped for a Denon AVR control server. Every tool covers a meaningful function: volume, mute, power, status, and input, without unnecessary bloat or trivial duplicates.
The core AV receiver control surface is covered: volume adjust and set, mute control, power on/off, status retrieval, and input selection. Minor gaps exist such as missing per-zone controls or more advanced audio settings, but the essential operations are complete.
