Server Configuration
Describes the environment variables required to run the server.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| CESIUM_TOOLSETS | No | Comma-separated list of toolset groups to enable (e.g. camera,bindbindentity,bindlayer). Use 'all' for all 43 tools. | all |
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 |
|---|---|
| flyToA | Animate the camera to a geographic location. Use for visible navigation requested by the user. Returns { success: boolean, message?: string, error?: string }. |
| setViewA | Set the camera position immediately without animation. Use for deterministic setup or instant view changes. Returns { success: boolean, message?: string, error?: string }. |
| getViewA | Get the current camera position and orientation. Returns { success, data: { longitude, latitude, height, heading, pitch, roll }, message? }. |
| zoomToExtentA | Animate the camera to a west/south/east/north bounding box. Returns { success: boolean, data?: unknown, message?: string, error?: string }. |
| saveViewpointA | Save the current camera state under a page-local name. Returns { success: boolean, data?: unknown, message?: string, error?: string }. |
| loadViewpointA | Restore a previously saved page-local camera state. Returns { success: boolean, data?: unknown, message?: string, error?: string }. |
| listViewpointsA | List camera viewpoints saved in the current page. Returns { success: boolean, data?: unknown, message?: string, error?: string }. |
| exportSceneA | Export the current view, layer, and entity state as JSON. Returns { success: boolean, data?: unknown, message?: string, error?: string }. |
| addMarkerA | Add a point marker at geographic coordinates. Returns { success, data: { entityId }, message? }; keep entityId for removeEntity. |
| addLabelB | Add property-based text labels for GeoJSON features. Returns { success, data: { labelCount: integer }, message? }. |
| addModelA | Add a glTF or GLB model at geographic coordinates. Returns { success: boolean, data?: unknown, message?: string, error?: string }. |
| addPolygonA | Draw a polygon area from geographic coordinate tuples. Returns { success, data: { entityId }, message? }; keep entityId for removeEntity. |
| addPolylineA | Draw a path or route from geographic coordinate tuples. Returns { success, data: { entityId }, message? }; keep entityId for removeEntity. |
| updateEntityA | Update the position, appearance, label, or visibility of an entity. Returns { success: boolean, data?: unknown, message?: string, error?: string }. |
| removeEntityA | Remove one entity created by an entity tool. Returns { success, message? } or { success: false, error } when entityId is not found. |
| batchAddEntitiesC | Add multiple supported entities in one page operation. Returns { success: boolean, data?: unknown, message?: string, error?: string }. |
| queryEntitiesA | Query page entities by name, type, or geographic extent. Returns { success: boolean, data?: unknown, message?: string, error?: string }. |
| getEntityPropertiesA | Read the properties and graphics metadata for one entity. Returns { success: boolean, data?: unknown, message?: string, error?: string }. |
| addGeoJsonLayerA | Add a styled GeoJSON Point, LineString, or Polygon layer. Returns { success, data: { id, name, type, visible, color, dataRefId? }, message? }; use id with highlight. |
| addGeoJsonPrimitiveA | Render GeoJSON as Cesium primitives for large browser datasets. Returns { success: boolean, data?: unknown, message?: string, error?: string }. |
| listLayersA | List all layers currently managed by the page. Returns { success: boolean, data?: unknown, message?: string, error?: string }. |
| getLayerSchemaA | Inspect fields, entity counts, and metadata for a layer. Returns { success: boolean, data?: unknown, message?: string, error?: string }. |
| removeLayerA | Remove a managed layer from the page. Returns { success: boolean, data?: unknown, message?: string, error?: string }. |
| clearAllA | Clear all layers, entities, animations, and trajectories from the scene. Returns { success, data: { removedLayers, removedEntities }, message? }. |
| setLayerVisibilityA | Show or hide a managed layer. Returns { success: boolean, data?: unknown, message?: string, error?: string }. |
| updateLayerStyleB | Update vector, imagery, primitive, or 3D Tiles styling for a layer. Returns { success: boolean, data?: unknown, message?: string, error?: string }. |
| setBasemapA | Switch the visible basemap style. Returns { success, data: { basemap }, message? }. |
| screenshotA | Capture the current Cesium map view as a PNG image. Returns { success, data: { dataUrl, width, height }, message? }; dataUrl is a base64 PNG. |
| highlightA | Highlight one feature or every feature in a GeoJSON layer. Returns { success: boolean, message?: string, error?: string }. |
| measureA | Measure distance or area between geographic coordinate tuples. Returns { success, data: { mode, value, unit, segments?, id? }, message? }. |
| list_toolsetsA | List all available tool groups and their enabled status. Call this to discover additional capabilities before asking the user to configure anything. |
| enable_toolsetA | Enable a tool group to make its tools available. Call list_toolsets first to see available groups. |
| listSessionsA | List all connected browser sessions (ID and connection state) for multi-browser routing |
