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 |
|---|---|
| connect_inverterA | Connect to a GoodWe inverter over the local network. Args: host: IP address or hostname of the inverter (e.g. "192.168.1.100"). port: UDP port — default 8899. Use 502 for Modbus/TCP. family: Optional inverter family override: ET, EH, BT, BH, ES, EM, BP, DT, MS, NS, XS. Leave blank for auto-detection. timeout: Per-attempt timeout in seconds. retries: Number of retry attempts on failure. |
| get_connection_statusB | Return the current connection status and basic device info. |
| get_device_infoA | Get model name, serial number and firmware version of the connected inverter. |
| get_runtime_dataA | Read current live data from all inverter sensors. Args: sensor_kind: Optional filter — one of PV, AC, UPS, BAT, GRID, BMS. Omit to return all sensors. Returns power, voltage, current, energy, battery state, grid status and more. |
| list_sensorsA | List all sensor IDs and names available on the connected inverter. Args: sensor_kind: Optional filter — one of PV, AC, UPS, BAT, GRID, BMS. |
| read_sensorA | Read the current value of a single sensor by its ID. Args: sensor_id: Sensor identifier, e.g. "pv1_voltage", "battery_soc", "grid_power". Use list_sensors to discover available IDs. |
| get_settings_dataA | Read all configurable inverter settings and their current values. |
| read_settingA | Read the current value of a single configurable setting. Args: setting_id: Setting identifier. Use get_settings_data to see all IDs. |
| write_settingA | Write a new value to a configurable inverter setting. Args: setting_id: Setting identifier. Use get_settings_data to see available IDs. value: New value as a string (converted to int/float automatically when possible). Warning: Incorrect values can affect inverter operation. Verify the value before writing. |
| get_operation_modeA | Get the current operation mode and the list of modes supported by this inverter. |
| set_operation_modeB | Set the inverter operation mode. Args: mode: One of: general, off_grid, backup, eco, peak_shaving, eco_charge, eco_discharge. eco_mode_power: Power level % for eco modes (0–100, default 100). eco_mode_soc: Battery SOC % threshold for eco modes (0–100, default 100). |
| get_grid_export_limitA | Get the current grid export power limit in watts. |
| set_grid_export_limitA | Set the maximum power the inverter may export to the grid. Args: limit_watts: Power limit in watts (0–10000). Use 0 to disable export. |
| get_battery_dodA | Get the battery depth-of-discharge setting (percentage of capacity that may be used). |
| set_battery_dodA | Set the battery depth-of-discharge limit. Args: depth_percent: How much of the battery capacity may be discharged (0–99). Higher values allow deeper cycling but can reduce battery lifespan. |

TDQS
Scored across 15 tools
Each tool has a clear, distinct purpose. Getters and setters are separated by domain (battery, grid, operation mode, settings, sensors), and there is no ambiguity between similar tools like read_sensor vs list_sensors or get_settings_data vs read_setting.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case. Verbs are uniform (connect, get, list, read, set, write) and nouns are specific, making the naming predictable and easy to understand.
The server provides 15 tools, which is an appropriate number for a feature-rich inverter management server. Each tool serves a necessary function without redundancy, covering connection, monitoring, and configuration.
The tool set covers all essential operations for interacting with a GoodWe inverter: connection, device info, live data, settings retrieval and modification, and key parameter adjustments (battery DoD, grid export limit, operation mode). There are no obvious gaps for standard remote management tasks.
