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 |
|---|---|
| lookup_nodA | Fetches a business's NOD Protocol manifest from https://{domain}/.well-known/nod.json (or the local demo server for *.localhost domains) and returns a structured summary: business identity, declared capabilities, supported actions, API endpoints, and contact methods. |
| check_capabilityA | Given a domain and an action (e.g. order_food, book_appointment, search_products, get_pricing, view_menu, book_table, check_status, create_account), fetches the business's NOD manifest and reports whether the action is supported, the endpoint URL, authentication requirements, and any policy constraints. |

Scored across 2 tools
The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: check_capability validates a specific action against a business's manifest, while lookup_nod retrieves and summarizes the entire manifest. There is no overlap or ambiguity between them, as one is for targeted validation and the other for general information retrieval.
Both tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case naming: check_capability and lookup_nod. The verbs 'check' and 'lookup' are semantically appropriate and distinct, and the naming style is uniform throughout the set.
With only two tools, the server feels under-scoped for its apparent purpose of interacting with NOD Protocol manifests. While the tools cover basic retrieval and validation, the lack of tools for actions like updating manifests, managing policies, or executing supported actions suggests a thin surface that may limit agent functionality.
The tool set is significantly incomplete for the NOD Protocol domain. It provides read-only access to manifests but lacks tools for creating, updating, or deleting manifests, or for actually executing the supported actions (e.g., order_food, book_appointment). This creates dead ends where agents can inspect but not interact with the business capabilities.
