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

NameDescription
web_searchA

Search the web for CURRENT information: news, current events, anything recent/latest/today/this week, weather, prices, time-sensitive facts. Do NOT use for general knowledge like recipes, definitions, or history — those have better tools. Returns snippets (title, url, snippet), not full pages.

    Args:
        query: what to search for, sent to the search engines exactly as written.
        max_results: how many results (default 10, allowed 1-25).
        region: optional region code `country-lang`, e.g. "us-en", "es-es", "de-de"; default "wt-wt" (no region).

TDQS

A4.6/5.0

Scored across 1 tool

Disambiguation5/5

With only one tool, there is no possibility of confusing it with another. Its purpose is clearly limited to current/timely web search, with explicit negative guidance for general knowledge.

Naming Consistency5/5

A single tool named `web_search` is descriptive, readable, and uses consistent snake_case. There is no pattern to violate or mix.

Tool Count3/5

One tool is thin even for a narrow search server, though it may be intentional. The surface feels minimal rather than clearly well-scoped across typical search needs.

Completeness4/5

The tool covers core web search with useful parameters like region and result count. Minor gaps remain, such as no page-content retrieval or specialized news/image search, but the stated snippet-only behavior is clear.
