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 2 tools
The two tools have completely distinct purposes: run_command executes CLI commands with specific constraints, while show_security_rules displays allowed operations and permissions. There is no overlap or ambiguity between these functions.
Both tools follow a clear verb_noun pattern (run_command, show_security_rules), which is consistent and readable. The minor deviation is that 'run' and 'show' are different verbs, but this is appropriate given their distinct actions.
With only 2 tools, the server feels thin for a CLI server that presumably handles command execution and environment management. A typical CLI server would benefit from more tools (e.g., for file operations, process management, or configuration), making this count insufficient for the apparent scope.
The tool surface is severely incomplete for a CLI server. It lacks basic operations like file creation, deletion, editing, process monitoring, or environment configuration. The run_command tool is limited to a few commands, and there are no tools for managing the CLI environment beyond showing security rules, creating significant gaps for agent workflows.
