Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.1.0
- Disambiguation5/5
The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: one provides local setup guidance, the other provides official links. There is no overlap or ambiguity between them.
Naming Consistency5/5Both tools follow the same get_ verb_noun pattern, making the naming predictable and consistent.
Tool Count4/5With only 2 tools, the server is slightly sparse, but for the narrow scope of providing canonical guidance and links, the count is reasonable and not excessive.
Completeness4/5The server covers the core informational needs (setup and links), but could potentially include additional useful resources like FAQs or feature overviews. Minor gaps exist but are not critical.
Average 3.8/5 across 2 of 2 tools scored.

This repository includes a README.md file.
No tool usage detected in the last 30 days. Usage tracking helps demonstrate server value.
Tip: use the "Try in Browser" feature on the server page to seed initial usage.
Add a glama.json file to provide metadata about your server.
If you are the author, simply .
If the server belongs to an organization, first add
glama.jsonto the root of your repository:{ "$schema": "https://glama.ai/mcp/schemas/server.json", "maintainers": [ "your-github-username" ] }Then . Browse examples.
Add related servers to improve discoverability.
How to sync the server with GitHub?
Servers are automatically synced at least once per day, but you can also sync manually at any time to instantly update the server profile.
To manually sync the server, click the "Sync Server" button in the MCP server admin interface.
How is the quality score calculated?
The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).
Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.
Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).
Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.
Tool Scores
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must convey behavior. It indicates a read-only action ('Return') but does not disclose additional context such as potential network use, format of the returned guidance, or any limitations. For a simple info-retrieval tool, this is adequate but not rich.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no waste. The parenthetical '(EarScribe)' adds minor branding but does not detract from clarity. It is appropriately sized for a zero-parameter tool.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (no parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description provides enough context: it states that the tool returns local-setup guidance. It does not elaborate on return format, but the minimal nature of the tool makes the description sufficiently complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has zero parameters, so the schema fully covers all parameters (vacuously). The description does not need to explain any parameter semantics, yielding the baseline of 4.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool returns canonical local-setup guidance, specifying a verb and resource. It doesn't explicitly distinguish from sibling get_official_links, but the name and wording make the tool's purpose evident.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_official_links. The description implies it's for local-setup guidance but does not contrast with siblings or mention any prerequisites or decision points.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It offers some transparency by noting the list is 'canonical' and that docs are included 'when available', hinting at conditional availability. However, it does not describe return format (e.g., array vs. object) or any potential errors, leaving some gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence that states the verb, resource, and scope without any wasted words. It achieves high clarity in minimal space, earning top marks for conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (0 parameters, no output schema), the description is reasonably complete. It identifies the exact data returned and includes a caveat about doc availability. A more detailed return type might improve completeness, but for a simple list retrieval, this is sufficient.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has zero parameters, so the description's only job is to clarify the tool's purpose, which it does. Per the rubric, 0 parameters earns a baseline of 4, and no additional parameter documentation is needed.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function: 'Return the canonical list of official links for EarScribe (website, support, docs when available).' The verb 'Return' with the resource 'canonical list of official links' is specific and distinguishes this from the sibling tool 'get_local_setup' by focusing on external official resources rather than local setup.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage context (when one needs official links for EarScribe) but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus the sibling 'get_local_setup'. There is no mention of alternatives or exclusions, so usage guidance is only implicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
