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

NameDescription
list_nest_devicesA

Discover Nest Protect Devices.

List all detectors, room locations, and online status with rich UI cards for home safety overview.

get_device_healthC

Get Device Health Status.

Real-time battery, smoke, CO, and connectivity metrics with visual health indicators in chat.

get_nest_eventsB

Get Recent Device Events.

Retrieve a list of recent smoke, CO, or connectivity events for a specific device.

hush_active_alarmA

Silence Active Alarm Device.

Temporarily hush smoke or CO alarms for maintenance or false triggers (30-300 seconds).

run_safety_testC

Execute Device Safety Test.

Trigger full, smoke, or CO self-tests on the device to verify alarm functionality.

set_device_ledA

Set Device LED Brightness.

Adjust the brightness level (0-100) of the Nest Protect status light ring.

trigger_test_alarmA
🚨 **Test Alarm Systems (Use Responsibly!)**

Trigger real alarm sounds on your Nest Protect devices for testing purposes.

**⚠️ IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES:**
• Only use for testing and maintenance
• Warn household members before testing
• Verify alarms work properly in emergencies
• Keep duration short to avoid false emergency responses

**Alarm Types:**
• 🔥 **Smoke**: Fire detection alarm (loud, pulsing)
• ☁️ **CO**: Carbon monoxide alarm (distinct pattern)
• 🔒 **Security**: Intrusion/breach alarm (continuous)
• 🆘 **Emergency**: Panic button (immediate response)

**Parameters:**
• device_id: Target Nest Protect device ID (enterprises/project-id/devices/device-id)
• alarm_type: Type of alarm (smoke, co, security, emergency) - default: smoke
• duration_seconds: How long to sound alarm (5-60 seconds) - default: 10
• volume: Alarm volume percentage (50-100%) - default: 100
set_security_modeA

Set Guard Security Mode.

Arm (home/away) or disarm the Nest security system using an optional passcode.

get_server_statusA

Get Server System Status.

Retrieve host CPU, memory, and disk usage metrics for the MCP server process.

get_mcp_processA

Get MCP Process Metrics.

Retrieve detailed memory and CPU consumption for the specific Nest Protect MCP process.

check_api_connectivityB

Check API Connection Health.

Verify real-time connectivity and latency to the Google Smart Device Management API.

list_server_toolsB

List Available MCP Tools.

Retrieve a comprehensive list of all registered tools and their functional descriptions.

get_tool_detailsA

Get Tool Practical Help.

Retrieve detailed parameters, usage examples, and safety constraints for a specific tool.

search_mcp_toolsA

Search Tools by Keyword.

Discovery helper to find relevant tools based on name, description, or capability keywords.

start_google_oauthB

Initiate Google OAuth Flow.

Start the secure OAuth 2.0 authorization process to link your Nest account.

finish_google_oauthB

Complete Google OAuth Callback.

Process the authorization code and exchange it for persistent access and refresh tokens.

refresh_nest_tokenC

Refresh Nest Access Token.

Force or verify the renewal of the current OAuth 2.0 access token for API calls.

get_nest_auth_statusA

Get Nest Auth Configuration Status.

Summarize whether NEST_* credentials and tokens are loaded (masked); reads repo .env when needed.

get_oauth_redirect_referenceA

Get OAuth Redirect URI Reference.

Return example redirect URIs (CLI vs web wizard), doc links, and just auth hints for PCM setup.

get_pcm_authorize_urlB

Get PCM Authorize URL.

Build the Partner Connections Manager authorization URL (same as start_google_oauth); optional browser.

validate_nest_credentialsA

Validate Nest SDM Credentials.

Optionally refresh the access token, then call SDM devices?pageSize=1 to verify the stack works.

get_mcp_configA

Get Current Server Configuration.

TDQS

C2.9/5.0

Scored across 32 tools

Disambiguation3/5

Several tools have overlapping purposes, particularly the AI-related tools (analyze_home_safety, coordinate_emergency_ai, forecast_maintenance_needs, configure_smart_automation) which are vaguely described and difficult to distinguish. Additionally, there are multiple OAuth and configuration tools that, while distinct, could confuse agents due to their number.

Naming Consistency5/5

All 32 tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., list_nest_devices, get_device_health, hush_active_alarm). The naming is predictable and clear across the entire set.

Tool Count2/5

With 32 tools, the server has far more than is typical for a focused home safety domain. Many tools are meta or overlap, suggesting scope creep. This exceeds the recommended range and may overwhelm agents.

Completeness3/5

The server covers device management, OAuth, configuration, and system info reasonably well, but includes vague AI features that are not clearly integrated. Missing essential operations like firmware update or device removal, and includes an out-of-scope security mode tool.
