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 |
|---|---|
| get_appsA | Get list of Qlik Sense applications with essential fields and filters (name, stream, published) and pagination. |
| get_app_detailsB | Get compact application info with filters by guid or name (case-insensitive). Returns metainfo, tables/fields list, master items, sheets and objects with used fields. |
| get_app_scriptC | Get load script from app |
| get_app_field_statisticsC | Get comprehensive statistics for a field |
| engine_create_hypercubeA | Create hypercube for data analysis with custom sorting options. IMPORTANT: To get top-N records, use qSortByExpression: 1 in dimension sorting with qExpression containing the measure formula (e.g., 'Count(field)' for ascending, '-Count(field)' for descending). Measure sorting is ignored by Qlik Engine. |
| get_app_fieldC | Return values of a single field from app with pagination and wildcard search (supports * and %). |
| get_app_variablesB | Return variables split by source (script/ui) with pagination and wildcard search. |
| get_app_sheetsC | Get list of sheets from application with title and description. |
| get_app_sheet_objectsC | Get list of objects from specific sheet with object ID, type and description. |
| get_app_objectC | Get specific object layout by calling GetObject and GetLayout sequentially via WebSocket. |

TDQS
Scored across 10 tools
Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose targeting specific Qlik Sense resources like apps, fields, objects, sheets, variables, or hypercubes, with no overlap in functionality. The descriptions reinforce this by detailing unique operations such as retrieving field statistics versus field values, ensuring agents can easily differentiate between tools.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with 'get_' or 'engine_' prefixes, using snake_case uniformly (e.g., get_app_details, get_app_field, engine_create_hypercube). This predictability makes the tool set easy to navigate and understand at a glance.
With 10 tools, the server is well-scoped for interacting with Qlik Sense applications, covering essential operations like listing apps, retrieving details, fields, objects, sheets, variables, scripts, and creating hypercubes. Each tool serves a distinct role without redundancy, fitting the domain appropriately.
The tool set provides comprehensive read and analysis capabilities for Qlik Sense apps, including data retrieval, statistics, and hypercube creation, but lacks write operations (e.g., updating or deleting apps, fields, or objects). This minor gap may limit agents in full lifecycle management but supports core query and analysis workflows effectively.
