Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v2.1.1
- Disambiguation5/5
Only one tool exists, so there is zero ambiguity. The tool's purpose as a persistent Python REPL is clearly defined and distinct from any other tool.
Naming Consistency5/5The single tool name 'execute_python' follows a clear verb_noun pattern in snake_case. With only one tool, consistency is inherently maintained.
Tool Count4/5One tool is slightly below the typical 3-15 range, but for a REPL server it is appropriate. The tool consolidates execution, state persistence, filesystem access, and MCP calls into a single well-designed interface.
Completeness5/5The tool covers the entire REPL domain: arbitrary Python execution, persistent state, top-level await, full filesystem access, and MCP integration. There are no apparent dead ends or missing operations.
Average 5/5 across 1 of 1 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.jsonto 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
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses state persistence across calls, filesystem access, top-level await support, timeout enforcement with KeyboardInterrupt and namespace preservation, and the behavior of the reset parameter. These go well beyond what the schema offers and provide critical safety/behavioral context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with the core purpose ('Persistent Python REPL') and then expands with necessary details. Every sentence earns its place: performance comparison, state persistence, filesystem access, await support, and timeout behavior. It is dense yet well-structured, with no fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool complexity (persistent REPL, filesystem access, MCP bridge) and lack of output schema, the description covers all essential invocation details: what it does, when to use it, persistent state, async support, timeout behavior, and reset semantics. It is sufficiently complete for an agent to invoke the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Although schema coverage is 100%, the description adds substantial meaning to the `code` parameter by explaining persistent state, await support, and the injected `mcp` bridge, which are not conveyed by the schema's generic 'Python code to execute'. This enriches the agent's understanding of how to write effective code for this tool.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool is a persistent Python REPL, distinguishing it from one-off bash execution via `python3 -c`. It uses a specific verb ('execute') and resource ('Python code') while also noting the persistent state and MCP bridge capabilities, which clearly differentiates it from sibling tools even though none are listed.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It explicitly says to use this tool instead of `python3 -c`, heredocs, or `cmd | python3` via Bash, with a concrete performance justification (warm call ~0.1s vs ~3s). It also explains when it's beneficial for batch MCP work, providing clear usage context and alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
GitHub Badge
Glama performs regular codebase and documentation scans to:
- Confirm that the MCP server is working as expected.
- Confirm that there are no obvious security issues.
- Evaluate tool definition quality.
Our badge communicates server capabilities, safety, and installation instructions.
