| DOCKER_COMPOSE_DIR | No | Directory where Docker Compose files are located on the VPS |
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 26 tools
Most tools have clearly distinct purposes (e.g., docker_ps vs docker_inspect, system_info vs disk_usage). However, diagnose_vps overlaps with several individual system tools, and diagnostic_command is vague, creating some ambiguity.
Tools follow snake_case with clear prefixes (docker_, docker_compose_, system_, etc.). Docker tools use verb_noun pattern, but system tools are mostly noun_noun (e.g., system_info, disk_usage). This mix is not fully consistent but still readable.
26 tools is on the higher side but appropriate for the 'Advanced' scope covering Docker, Docker Compose, and VPS diagnostics. The set is well-scoped, though a few tools could be merged (e.g., diagnose_vps and individual checks).
The tool surface covers monitoring and basic state changes for Docker and VPS, but lacks container creation/removal, Docker Compose down, and deeper system management. The diagnostic_command is undefined. Notable gaps exist for a truly 'Advanced' server.
