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 |
|---|---|
| describe_imageA | Describe an image from base64-encoded data. Use for images directly uploaded to chat. |
| describe_image_from_fileA | Describe an image from a local file path. Requires proper file system access. |
| describe_image_from_urlA | Describe an image from a public URL. Most reliable method for web images. |

TDQS
Scored across 3 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose based on the image source: base64-encoded data, local file path, or public URL. The descriptions explicitly state what each tool is 'best for' and 'not for,' eliminating any ambiguity about when to use which tool.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun_from_source pattern (describe_image, describe_image_from_file, describe_image_from_url). This predictable naming makes it easy for an agent to understand the relationship between the tools and their specific use cases.
With 3 tools, this server is well-scoped for its purpose of image recognition across different input methods. Each tool earns its place by covering a distinct scenario (uploaded images, local files, web URLs), making the set complete without being bloated.
The tool surface comprehensively covers all common ways to provide an image for description: base64 data, local files, and public URLs. There are no obvious gaps, as these three methods handle most practical use cases an agent would encounter in image recognition tasks.
