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

A3.6/5.0

Scored across 2 tools

Disambiguation5/5

The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: get_pdf_metadata retrieves metadata without reading content, while read_pdf extracts the actual text, tables, and images. There is no overlap or ambiguity between these functions.

Naming Consistency5/5

Both tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (get_pdf_metadata and read_pdf), using clear action verbs and the same domain prefix. The naming is predictable and readable throughout.

Tool Count2/5

With only 2 tools, the server feels thin for a PDF reader domain. While the tools cover basic reading and metadata, there are likely missing operations like searching within PDFs, extracting specific elements, or handling annotations, which limits functionality.

Completeness2/5

The tool surface is significantly incomplete for a PDF reader. It lacks essential operations such as search, annotation handling, page manipulation, or conversion to other formats. Agents will face dead ends when trying to perform common PDF tasks beyond simple reading.
