Instructions
Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.

TDQS
Scored across 5 tools
improve_code overlaps significantly with add_feature and fix_bug, as it explicitly includes both fixing bugs and implementing features. This makes it unclear whether an agent should use the generic tool or the specific one. refactor is somewhat distinct but still a code-modification action, adding to the ambiguity.
Most tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (improve_code, add_feature, fix_bug, get_status). The exception is 'refactor', a bare verb, which is a minor deviation but does not significantly harm predictability.
With 5 tools, the server is well-scoped for its purpose of interfacing with Aider. Each tool maps to a distinct type of operation, and the count is neither too thin nor bloated.
The tool set covers the main code-modification workflows (improve, add feature, fix bug, refactor) plus a status check. However, the generic improve_code makes the specific tools redundant, and there are no tools for reverting or committing changes, leaving minor gaps.
