Instructions
Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.

Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| pingA | Smallest possible round trip. Returns a fixed string and the sequence number of this call. |
| echoA | Returns its text argument unchanged. Use a different text per chat window to tell the windows apart in the capture. |
| sized_echoA | Returns size_kb kilobytes of filler. For probing buffer and message size effects. |
| slow_echoA | Returns its text argument after delay_ms milliseconds. Separates a slow handler from a lost message. |

Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a distinct, non-overlapping purpose: ping for round-trip verification, echo for text return, sized_echo for size effects, and slow_echo for delay effects. There is no ambiguity between them.
Names are clear and follow a consistent style: all lowercase with underscores. The echo variants (sized_echo, slow_echo) follow a clear adjective_echo pattern, though ping and echo are simpler bare verb forms.
Four tools is an ideal size for a debug server, covering essential test scenarios without bloat. Each tool earns its place.
The set covers basic connectivity, text echo, size testing, and latency testing. A potential gap is error injection or message corruption testing, but for the stated debug purpose, coverage is solid.
