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.

TDQS
Scored across 8 tools
Each tool targets a distinct domain (layers, drawings, entities, blocks, annotations, P&ID symbols, views, system). The only minor overlap is between entity create_mtext and annotation create_text, but they are clearly differentiated as multi-line vs single-line text.
All tool names follow a consistent lowercase noun pattern, with operations nested as verbs underneath. No mixed conventions, camelCase, or unpredictable verbs; the naming is uniform and intuitive.
8 tools is well-scoped for an AutoCAD automation server, each covering a major functional area without unnecessary overlap. The count fits squarely in the ideal 3-15 range and avoids redundancy.
The tool set provides thorough coverage of drawing lifecycle (create, open, save, plot, purge), entity creation/editing, block management, layer management, annotation, and even specialized P&ID workflows. There are no obvious missing operations that would cause agent failures.
