Server Configuration

Describes the environment variables required to run the server.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No arguments

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.

Capabilities

Server capabilities have not been inspected yet.

Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
get_materials_with_elementsB
Find materials containing specific elements.

Args:
    elements: List of elements that must be present in the material (e.g., ["Fe", "O"]).
    exclude_elements: Optional list of elements that must not be present.
    max_records: Maximum number of records to return (default: 10).

Returns:
    List of materials containing the specified elements.
get_material_detailsA
Get detailed information about a specific material by its Materials Project ID.

Args:
    material_id: The Materials Project ID (e.g., "mp-149").

Returns:
    Dictionary containing detailed information about the material.
find_materials_by_formulaB
Find materials with a specific chemical formula.

Args:
    formula: Chemical formula to search for (e.g., "Fe2O3").
    max_records: Maximum number of records to return (default: 10).

Returns:
    List of materials matching the specified formula.

TDQS

A3.5/5.0

Scored across 3 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: find_materials_by_formula searches by chemical formula, get_material_details retrieves detailed information by ID, and get_materials_with_elements searches by element composition. There is no overlap in functionality, making tool selection unambiguous for an agent.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case (e.g., find_materials_by_formula, get_material_details, get_materials_with_elements). The naming is predictable and readable throughout the set.

Tool Count3/5

With only 3 tools, the set feels thin for a materials science domain, which might involve more operations like filtering by properties, comparing materials, or updating data. While the tools cover basic search and retrieval, the count is borderline for comprehensive coverage.

Completeness3/5

The tools provide essential search and retrieval functions (by formula, ID, and elements), but there are notable gaps. For a materials database, operations like filtering by material properties (e.g., band gap, stability), sorting, or pagination are missing, which could limit agent workflows in more complex tasks.
