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.

Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| arcana_add_resourceB | Add a file or directory as a resource into the context database. |
| arcana_lsB | List direct children at a arcana:// URI. |
| arcana_treeB | Show recursive tree at a arcana:// URI. |
| arcana_statC | Get metadata for a resource. |
| arcana_rmA | Remove a resource (CASCADE deletes chunks, FTS triggers clean up). |
| arcana_findA | Semantic search — embed query, cosine similarity against all chunks. |
| arcana_grepB | Keyword/regex search — FTS5 for simple terms, Python re fallback. |
| arcana_searchA | Hybrid search — 0.7 * semantic + 0.3 * FTS5, merged and ranked. |
| arcana_readB | Read full content of a resource (concatenated chunks in order). |
| arcana_add_memoryB | Store a memory entry as a resource with embedding. |
| arcana_mkdirA | Create a directory at a arcana:// URI. |

TDQS
Scored across 12 tools
Each tool has a distinct purpose: memory vs resource addition, different search modes (semantic, keyword, hybrid), and clear navigation vs content operations. No ambiguity.
All tools follow the consistent pattern 'arcana_verb' or 'arcana_verb_noun' with snake_case (e.g., arcana_add_memory, arcana_ls, arcana_search). Conventions are uniform.
12 tools is well-scoped for a hierarchical resource and memory system, covering CRUD, navigation, search, and metadata retrieval without bloat.
Covers addition, reading, deletion, movement, search, and listing. Missing an update/modify tool for resources or memory, which is a minor but notable gap.
