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 |
|---|---|
| list_regionsA | Lists the OCI regions this tenancy is subscribed to (region ID, region key, home region flag). Use this to resolve a region name (e.g. "Vinhedo", "São Paulo") to its region ID (e.g. "sa-vinhedo-1") before passing it as the region argument to other tools. |
| list_compartmentsA | Lists compartments by name and/or parent compartment. Use this to resolve a compartment name (e.g. "cpLinux") to its OCID before calling other tools. Defaults to searching the entire tenancy tree from the root compartment. |
| list_instancesA | Lists Compute instances in a compartment. Returns a trimmed summary per instance unless raw=true. |
| get_instanceA | Returns details of a specific Compute instance. Returns a trimmed summary unless raw=true. |
| list_vnic_attachmentsA | Lists VNIC attachments in a compartment, optionally filtered by instance. Returns a trimmed summary unless raw=true. |
| instance_actionA | Performs a lifecycle action on a Compute instance (START, STOP, SOFTSTOP, RESET, SOFTRESET, SENDDIAGNOSTICINTERRUPT). Blocked when OCI_READ_ONLY=true. |
| list_vcnsA | Lists Virtual Cloud Networks (VCNs) in a compartment. Returns a trimmed summary per VCN unless raw=true. |
| get_vcnA | Returns details of a specific VCN. Returns a trimmed summary unless raw=true. |
| list_subnetsA | Lists subnets in a compartment, optionally filtered by VCN. Returns a trimmed summary per subnet unless raw=true. |
| list_security_listsA | Lists security lists in a compartment, optionally filtered by VCN. Returns a trimmed summary (with ingress/egress rule counts) per list unless raw=true — pass raw=true to inspect the actual rules. |
| list_network_security_groupsA | Lists network security groups (NSGs) in a compartment, optionally filtered by VCN. Returns a trimmed summary per NSG unless raw=true. |
| list_route_tablesA | Lists route tables in a compartment, optionally filtered by VCN. Returns a trimmed summary (with route rule count) per table unless raw=true — pass raw=true to inspect the actual routes. |
| get_namespaceA | Returns the Object Storage namespace for the tenancy. |
| list_bucketsA | Lists Object Storage buckets in a compartment. Returns a trimmed summary per bucket unless raw=true. |
| get_bucketA | Returns details of a specific Object Storage bucket. Returns a trimmed summary unless raw=true. |
| list_objectsA | Lists objects in a bucket, optionally filtered by prefix. |
| create_bucketA | Creates an Object Storage bucket. Blocked when OCI_READ_ONLY=true. |
| delete_objectA | Deletes an object from a bucket. Blocked when OCI_READ_ONLY=true. |

TDQS
Scored across 18 tools
Each tool targets a distinct resource and action (e.g., list_regions vs list_compartments, get_instance vs instance_action). No two tools appear to do the same thing, and descriptions clearly differentiate their purpose.
The vast majority of tools follow the verb_noun pattern (list_*, get_*, create_*, delete_*). The only deviation is instance_action, which is noun_verb, creating a minor inconsistency.
18 tools is at the high end but acceptable for a server spanning compute, networking, and object storage. Each tool has a distinct role, so the count feels purposeful rather than bloated.
The tool set is heavily read-focused. Compute instances lack create/update/delete, VCNs lack create/delete, and subnets are limited to list operations. Object storage has only partial write coverage (create_bucket, delete_object), leaving significant lifecycle gaps for a management server.
