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 |
|---|---|
| inspect_exifA | Read EXIF metadata from a single image path. This tool is read-only and must not modify the target file. |
| has_gps_exifA | Check whether an image contains GPS/location EXIF fields. This tool is read-only and must not modify the target file. |
| inspect_exif_detailedB | Read EXIF metadata with per-tag references for selective cleanup. |
| find_images_with_gps_exifC | Find images in one folder that contain GPS/location EXIF fields. |
| find_images_with_exif_fieldsC | Find images in one folder containing selected EXIF fields. |
| summarize_exif_privacyC | Summarize privacy-sensitive EXIF fields for a single image path. |
| strip_exifA | Remove EXIF metadata from a single image. If |
| strip_selected_exif_fieldsC | Remove selected EXIF fields from a single image path. |
| batch_strip_exifC | Remove EXIF metadata from supported images in a folder. Optional dry-run, comparison, and per-file sidecar-report behavior is available. |
| batch_strip_gps_exifC | Remove only GPS EXIF metadata from supported images in a folder. |
| batch_strip_selected_exif_fieldsC | Remove selected EXIF fields from supported images in a folder. |

TDQS
Scored across 11 tools
Each tool targets a distinct operation (inspect, strip, find) and scope (single file vs batch). Even similar tools like inspect_exif and inspect_exif_detailed are clearly differentiated by level of detail. No overlapping purposes.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case (e.g., strip_exif, batch_strip_gps_exif, find_images_with_exif_fields). No mixing of conventions or vague verbs.
11 tools cover the full range of EXIF operations: inspection, stripping (single/batch, full/partial/GPS), finding files, and privacy summary. The number is appropriate for a focused utility server.
The tool set covers core privacy workflows: reading, stripping, and locating EXIF data. Missing write/update/modify operations, but those are not typically needed for EXIF removal. Minor gap but acceptable for the domain.
