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 |
|---|---|
| read_metadataA | Profile a data file: structure, types, quality warnings and next steps. Reads only the first rows for efficiency and returns file info, a
per-column profile (dtype, null counts, cardinality, sample values and
numeric min/max/mean), data-quality warnings, and suggested pandas
operations to run next with |
| interpret_column_dataA | Return the complete value distribution of one or more columns. For each requested column, reports dtype, total/null/unique counts and the
value frequencies (sorted most-common first). Unlike |
| run_pandas_codeA | Execute pandas code in a restricted sandbox and return
|
| generate_chartjsA | Generate an interactive Chart.js HTML file from series data. Supports |

| Name | Description |

| explore_dataset | Guide a structured exploration of an unknown data file. |
| visualize_column | Summarize a single column and turn its distribution into a chart. |

Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a distinct purpose: generating charts, profiling metadata, examining column distributions, and executing arbitrary pandas code. There is no overlap or ambiguity.
All tool names use snake_case with a verb_noun pattern, but the verbs vary (generate, read, interpret, run). This is consistent within its own style, though not perfectly uniform.
Four tools is a minimal but focused set for pandas operations. It covers key actions without being overly sparse or excessive for the domain.
Core operations like metadata profiling, column analysis, code execution, and visualization are covered. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no direct data subsetting tool) but arbitrary code fills most needs.
