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 |
|---|---|
| ask_grokB | Ask Grok a question and get a response. Default model: grok-4.3. Supports system prompts and sampling parameters (temperature, max_tokens, top_p). Run list_models to see all available model options. |
| generate_imageB | Generate an image using Grok's Aurora image model and save it to a local file. Default model: grok-imagine-image-quality. Use the optional 'model' parameter to use a different image model. |
| list_modelsA | List all xAI models available to your account, including their IDs and capabilities. Use this to discover which models you can pass to ask_grok or generate_image. You can also filter by type: 'chat' for language models or 'image' for image generation. |
| grok_consensusA | Runs a full iterative Consensus Validation Protocol (CVP) between Claude and Grok. Returns a structured final summary. Default 3-5 rounds. Supports custom round count via the 'rounds' argument. |
| grok_validateA | Runs a rigorous Validation Protocol on any artifact (code, plan, research, prompt, PR, architecture, etc.). Produces a scored scorecard, identifies weaknesses, and returns an improved version. Use this as your mandatory quality gate before shipping complex work. Default model: grok-4.3. |

Scored across 5 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: Q&A, image generation, consensus validation, artifact validation, and model listing. No overlap or ambiguity.
All names use lowercase with underscores, but there is a slight inconsistency: most tools follow verb_noun (ask_grok, generate_image, list_models) while two start with the product prefix 'grok_' (grok_consensus, grok_validate), breaking the verb-first pattern.
5 tools is well-scoped for a server that wraps Grok API functionality—enough to cover key interactions without bloat.
The tool surface covers core Grok capabilities: query, image generation, consensus, validation, and model discovery. No obvious missing operations for the intended scope.
