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 7 tools
Each tool has a clearly defined purpose with no overlap: server status, map listing, scenario generation from NL, replay, save, weather control, and validation. The pair run_scenario and replay_scenario are distinguished by input source (NL vs. saved spec).
All tools follow the verb_noun snake_case convention (get_status, list_maps, run_scenario, etc.), making the API predictable and easy to navigate.
Seven tools cover the essential operations for a CARLA simulation server: status check, map exploration, scenario lifecycle (create, save, replay, validate), and weather control. The count is well-scoped without redundancy.
The tool surface covers the core workflow (scenario generation, execution, replay, weather). Minor gaps include no tool to list or delete saved scenarios, but agents can work around by using the file system or naming conventions.
