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 3 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: get_compound_info retrieves basic chemical properties, get_safety_info focuses on GHS hazard classifications, and get_toxicity_data provides experimental toxicity data. There is no overlap in functionality, and the descriptions clearly differentiate their domains (basic info vs. safety vs. toxicity).
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with 'get_' prefix and snake_case naming (get_compound_info, get_safety_info, get_toxicity_data). This predictable structure makes it easy for agents to understand and navigate the toolset without confusion.
With only 3 tools, the set feels thin for a chemical safety domain that might benefit from additional operations like searching compounds, batch queries, or regulatory data. While the tools cover core areas, the low count limits comprehensive coverage and could require agents to work around missing functionality.
The tools cover key aspects (basic info, safety, toxicity) but leave notable gaps. There is no search or lookup tool to find compounds by criteria, no batch operations for efficiency, and no update/delete capabilities (though less critical here). Agents may struggle to initiate workflows without a way to discover compounds beyond direct name input.
