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.

Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| dockhand_healthA | Checks whether the configured Dockhand service is reachable and healthy. |
| list_environmentsA | Lists safe summaries of Docker environments known to Dockhand. Connection URLs and credentials are omitted. |
| list_containersA | Lists container identity, image, runtime health, ports, metrics, and network membership. Secrets, labels, mounts, logs, and commands are omitted. |
| get_container_summaryA | Gets a sanitized summary for one container ID returned by list_containers. It never returns environment variables, labels, mounts, logs, commands, or raw inspect data. |
| list_networksA | Lists network driver, internal flag, IPAM ranges, and sanitized container membership. Labels and driver options are omitted. |
| get_network_summaryA | Gets a sanitized summary for one network ID returned by list_networks. |
| list_stacksA | Lists stack names, states, types, and resource counts. Compose files, repository URLs, paths, and secrets are omitted. |
| get_runtime_overviewA | Returns aggregate container, health, network-isolation, and stack-state counts for routine monitoring. |

Scored across 8 tools
Each tool has a distinct purpose: health check, list environments, list containers, get one container, list networks, get one network, list stacks, and aggregate overview. The list vs. get pairing for containers and networks prevents confusion, and the overview and health tools are uniquely scoped.
Most tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (list_*, get_*, get_*_summary). The outlier is dockhand_health, which reads as a noun phrase rather than a verb-based action, but it is still understandable and does not break the overall pattern significantly.
With 8 tools, this server is well-scoped for a read-only Docker inspection and monitoring service. Each tool covers a necessary facet (environments, containers, networks, stacks, health, and overview) without redundancy or bloat.
The server covers the main read-only monitoring operations: listing and summarizing containers and networks, listing stacks and environments, plus a health check and runtime overview. A get_stack_summary or get_environment_summary could be expected, but their absence seems intentional for security/sanitization reasons, and the core workflows are covered.
