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

Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| list_dagsA | List all DAGs with their paused/active status. |
| get_dag_runs_todayA | Get all DAG runs from today with their status. Returns every DAG run that started on the current UTC date, grouped by status (success, failed, running, queued). |
| get_dag_run_statusA | Get the latest run status for a specific DAG. |
| check_failed_dagsA | Check for failed DAG runs in the last 24 hours. Returns a list of DAGs that had at least one failed run in the past 24 hours, with execution dates. |
| check_scheduler_healthA | Check the Airflow scheduler health via the /health endpoint. Returns the scheduler status and latest heartbeat timestamp. |
| trigger_dag_runA | Trigger a manual DAG run. |
| get_task_instancesA | Get individual task instances for a specific DAG run. |

TDQS
Scored across 7 tools
Every tool targets a distinct aspect of Airflow (failed DAGs, scheduler health, specific DAG run status, today's runs, task instances, DAG listing, manual trigger). No two tools overlap in purpose.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with lowercase and underscores (e.g., check_failed_dags, get_dag_run_status). No deviations or mixed conventions.
7 tools is well-scoped for an Airflow monitoring/management server. It covers essential operations without being excessive or minimal.
Covers core monitoring (health, DAG run status, task instances) and triggering. Missing pause/unpause, DAG details, or run deletion, but these are secondary for typical agent workflows.
