Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.
  • Latest release: v1.0.0

  • Disambiguation5/5

    The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: one lists available certifications, the other retrieves practice questions for a given certification. No overlap or ambiguity.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    Both tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case: 'list_certifications' and 'get_cert_questions'. The naming is predictable and uniform.

    Tool Count3/5

    With only 2 tools, the server is minimal. For a focused domain of retrieving practice questions, this might be sufficient, but it borders on too few for a more comprehensive toolkit.

    Completeness5/5

    The server covers the essential workflow: discover certifications and retrieve questions with explanations. No obvious missing operations for the stated purpose.

  • Average 4.1/5 across 2 of 2 tools scored.

  • Add a LICENSE file by following GitHub's guide. Once GitHub recognizes the license, the system will automatically detect it within a few hours.

    If the license does not appear after some time, you can manually trigger a new scan using the MCP server admin interface.

    MCP servers without a LICENSE cannot be installed.

  • This repository includes a README.md file.

  • No tool usage detected in the last 30 days. Usage tracking helps demonstrate server value.

    Tip: use the "Try in Browser" feature on the server page to seed initial usage.

  • Add a glama.json file to provide metadata about your server.

  • If you are the author, simply .

    If the server belongs to an organization, first add glama.json to the root of your repository:

    {
      "$schema": "https://glama.ai/mcp/schemas/server.json",
      "maintainers": [
        "your-github-username"
      ]
    }

    Then . Browse examples.

  • Add related servers to improve discoverability.

How to sync the server with GitHub?

Servers are automatically synced at least once per day, but you can also sync manually at any time to instantly update the server profile.

To manually sync the server, click the "Sync Server" button in the MCP server admin interface.

How is the quality score calculated?

The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).

Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.

Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).

Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.

Tool Scores

  • Behavior3/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    With no annotations, the description carries the burden. It discloses the return format (multiple-choice questions with explanations) and coverage (27 certifications). However, it does not mention side effects (likely none), rate limits, authentication requirements, or data freshness, leaving gaps for an agent.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness5/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    Three sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose, followed by supported certifications and output format. No superfluous text.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness4/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given moderate complexity (4 parameters, no output schema), the description covers purpose, supported inputs, and output nature. It references the sibling tool but lacks error handling or authentication context. Still, it is complete enough for an agent to use correctly.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters3/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    Schema description coverage is 100%, so the description adds limited value beyond the schema. It mentions supported certifications and output format but does not provide additional meaning for individual parameters beyond what the schema already provides.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description clearly states the tool retrieves IT certification practice questions from GetMyCert.com, lists supported certifications (AWS, CompTIA, etc.), and specifies the return format (multiple-choice questions with options and explanations). It distinguishes itself from the sibling tool list_certifications.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines4/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    The description guides use by mentioning the need to call list_certifications for available certification options, indicating when to use this tool and when to use the sibling. However, it lacks explicit when-not scenarios or prerequisites like authentication.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior3/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It mentions output includes question counts, but does not disclose any potential side effects (none expected), rate limits, or authentication needs. Adequate for a simple read operation.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness5/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    Two sentences, no redundancy. First sentence states action and output, second provides usage guidance. Every word earns its place.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness4/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    For a no-parameter, no-output-schema tool, the description covers the purpose and usage adequately. Could explicitly mention the return format, but the mention of 'question counts' gives sufficient clue. Not missing critical information.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters4/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    The tool has no parameters (0 params, schema coverage 100%), so baseline is 4. The description does not need to add parameter info; it instead adds value by stating the output content (question counts) and usage context.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description uses a specific verb ('List') and resource ('certifications'), includes the context of question counts, and explicitly ties to discovering slugs for the sibling tool get_cert_questions, clearly distinguishing it.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines4/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    Explicitly states when to use this tool ('discover valid certification slugs for get_cert_questions'), implying it should be called before the sibling. Does not cover when not to use, but the single sibling makes it clear.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
