Server Quality Checklist

50%
Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.
  • Latest release: v0.1.0

  • Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool targets a distinct operation: executing raw queries, listing labels, label values, profile types, rendering profiles, and retrieving series. No two tools have overlapping functionality.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tool names follow a consistent 'pyroscope_{verb_or_noun}' pattern in snake_case, making the set predictable and easy to navigate.

    Tool Count4/5

    Six tools is a reasonable count for a profiling API client, covering essential operations without being too sparse or bloated. Slight under-coverage is possible but acceptable.

    Completeness4/5

    The set covers key Pyroscope API operations: querying, metadata (labels, profile types), and data retrieval (render, series). Minor gaps like specific profile operations or CRUD might exist but are not critical for typical usage.

  • Average 2.7/5 across 6 of 6 tools scored.

  • If you are the author, simply .

    If the server belongs to an organization, first add glama.json to 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

  • Behavior2/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only says 'Execute', which could imply read or write. It does not mention authentication, rate limits, side effects, or response behavior. This is minimal for a generic query tool.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness3/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    The description is a single sentence, which is concise, but for a generic tool that takes a raw JSON body and endpoint, it could benefit from more structure (e.g., example usage). It is not wasteful but also not optimally informative.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the lack of output schema and the complexity of a generic query tool (nested body, multiple endpoints), the description is incomplete. It fails to explain how to construct the body, what endpoints are valid, or what the response contains. Users would need external documentation.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters2/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    Schema description coverage is 50% (body and endpoint have descriptions). The description adds no new semantics beyond repeating the schema descriptions for these two parameters, and leaves baseUrl and tenantId completely undocumented. It does not compensate for the missing schema descriptions.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose4/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description clearly states the verb 'Execute' and the resource 'Pyroscope Connect query endpoint'. It implies generic query execution, which distinguishes it from sibling tools focused on specific labels or profiles. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from siblings or explain what 'connect query' means.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines2/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool vs. alternatives. It says 'any' endpoint but does not specify contexts where this is preferred over the specific Pyroscope tools listed as siblings.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior2/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    The description only says 'List', implying read-only behavior, but fails to disclose any additional behavioral traits such as authentication requirements, rate limits, or response format. With no annotations, the burden falls entirely on the description.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness4/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    The description is a single sentence with no wasted words. It is appropriately front-loaded with the core purpose.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness1/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the tool has 4 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is critically incomplete. It lacks any information about response structure, error handling, or usage context.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters2/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    Schema coverage is 50% (only 'end' and 'start' have descriptions). The description does not explain any parameters, nor does it provide context for 'baseUrl' or 'tenantId'.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose4/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description clearly states the action 'List' and the resource 'available profile types via Connect API'. It provides a specific verb and resource, but does not differentiate from sibling tools like pyroscope_label_names or pyroscope_series.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines2/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, context, or exclusion conditions.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior2/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    Without annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure but only states a return action. No information about side effects, permissions, idempotency, or response format is provided.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness3/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    The description is very concise with one sentence, but it sacrifices useful detail. Front-loading the verb and resource is good, but it could be slightly expanded for clarity without losing conciseness.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given no output schema and no annotations, the description is insufficient. It does not explain return values, error handling, or provide a complete picture for a tool with six parameters.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters2/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    The description mentions 'given matchers' but does not add explanatory value beyond the schema for parameters like baseUrl and tenantId (which lack schema descriptions). The 67% schema coverage is not compensated by the description.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose4/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description uses a specific verb ('Return') and resource ('profile series') with additional context ('for given matchers via Connect API'), clearly stating the tool's function. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like pyroscope_connect_query, which could also return series.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines2/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives or any exclusions. The description lacks any contextual cues for tool selection.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior2/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It implies a read operation ('List') but lacks details on authentication needs, rate limits, or whether the operation is safe. The phrase 'via Connect API' is vague.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness4/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    The description is a single sentence with no wasted words. However, it could include a bit more context without losing conciseness.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given 5 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It does not explain the return format, how parameters filter results, or how this tool relates to its siblings (e.g., pyroscope_label_values).

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters2/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    Schema description coverage is 60% (3 out of 5 parameters have descriptions). The tool description adds no extra meaning to the parameters; it does not explain how 'start', 'end', or 'matchers' affect the label names returned. Parameters 'baseUrl' and 'tenantId' lack descriptions both in schema and tool description.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose4/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description clearly states the verb 'List', resource 'label names', and method 'Connect API'. It distinguishes from siblings like 'pyroscope_label_values' (which lists values for a given label) but does not explicitly contrast them.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines2/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., pyroscope_label_values or pyroscope_series). The agent receives no context about prerequisites or typical use cases.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior2/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    No annotations are provided, so description carries full burden. It only states 'via Connect API' but does not disclose pagination, rate limits, authentication requirements, or behavior for missing labels.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness5/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    Single, front-loaded sentence that is efficient and contains no redundant information.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the tool's 6 parameters and lack of output schema or annotations, the description is too brief. It omits return values, error handling, and context for optional parameters.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters2/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    With 67% schema description coverage, the tool description does not add any meaning beyond the schema. Parameters like baseUrl and tenantId remain undescribed, and the description doesn't clarify their usage.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose4/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    Description clearly specifies verb 'list', resource 'label values', and constraint 'for a given label name'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like pyroscope_label_names but does not explicitly contrast with them.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines2/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as pyroscope_label_names or pyroscope_series. Lacks context about prerequisites or when-not-to-use.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior2/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    With no annotations present, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only mentions 'legacy' but fails to disclose idempotency, data sensitivity, authentication requirements, or potential side effects. The description does not add meaningful 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.

    Conciseness3/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    The description is a single sentence, which is concise but at the expense of necessary detail for an 8-parameter tool. It is not overly verbose, but it leaves important information out.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the tool's moderate complexity (8 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description fails to address return format, pagination, error handling, or how the results relate to sibling tools. It is too brief to be complete.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters3/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all 8 parameters. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides, meeting the baseline expectation but not exceeding it.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description clearly specifies the verb 'Query', the resource 'legacy /pyroscope/render endpoint', and the data types 'flamegraph and timeline data'. It distinguishes the tool from siblings by focusing on this specific legacy endpoint.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines2/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus the sibling tools (e.g., pyroscope_connect_query). It lacks context about prerequisites, use cases, or scenarios where this tool is appropriate.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
