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.

Scored across 10 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose based on the combination of data type (e.g., contour maps, observations, forecasts), pollutant (e.g., ozone, PM2.5), location method (e.g., bounding box, lat-long, zip code), and time frame (e.g., current, historical). There is no overlap in functionality, making it easy for an agent to select the correct tool for a specific query.
All tool names follow a consistent verb-noun pattern with hyphens, starting with 'get-' and including descriptive details like data type, location method, and parameters. This uniformity enhances readability and predictability, allowing agents to easily understand and navigate the tool set.
With 10 tools, the server is well-scoped for air quality data retrieval, covering key operations such as current and historical observations, forecasts, and contour maps across different location methods. Each tool serves a specific purpose without redundancy, making the count appropriate for the domain.
The tool set provides comprehensive coverage for air quality data, including current and historical observations, forecasts, and contour maps for ozone and PM2.5, with multiple location inputs (lat-long, zip code, bounding box). There are no obvious gaps, as it supports all major data retrieval needs in this domain.
