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 |
|---|---|
| mnova_statusA | Check MestReNova, bridge readiness, supported formats, and workflow. |
| mnova_process_1dB | Process 1D NMR data with Mnova and export auditable spectrum artifacts. |
| mnova_prepare_structure_1dA | Open 1D NMR plus CDX/CDXML (or another supported structure) in Mnova. Processes the spectrum, extracts atom metadata and stable peak/multiplet IDs, optionally runs Mnova Verify, and saves a prepared .mnova document. The result is the evidence package used to create a separate assignment-plan JSON. |
| mnova_apply_assignments_1dA | Validate and write an assignment plan into a prepared Mnova document. |

Scored across 4 tools
Each tool targets a distinct stage of the workflow, but mnova_process_1d and mnova_prepare_structure_1d overlap in that both process 1D NMR data; the descriptions help clarify that one is for standalone processing and the other for preparing a structure-linked document.
All tools follow a consistent mnova_<verb>_<object> pattern with clear action-oriented verbs (status, process, prepare, apply), making the naming predictable and easy to scan.
Four tools is well-scoped for the dedicated NMR processing and assignment workflow. Each tool covers a necessary step without redundancy or bloat.
The tool set covers the core lifecycle from status check through processing, preparation, and assignment application. Minor gaps like explicit retrieval of assignment results or undo functionality could exist, but the pipeline appears functionally complete for its purpose.
