Server Configuration
Describes the environment variables required to run the server.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| BASH_PATH | No | Override the Bash runtime path across all platforms. The target executable is expected to implement Bash semantics and accept standard -c <command> arguments. |
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
Scored across 2 tools
The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: one executes commands, the other inspects the environment. There is no overlap or ambiguity between them.
Both tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern: execute_bash and get_bash_environments. The naming style is uniform and predictable.
Two tools is minimal but appropriate for a narrowly scoped bash execution server. The environment inspection tool supplements the primary execution capability without unnecessary bloat.
The core domain of executing bash commands is fully covered by execute_bash, and environment introspection adds useful context. While more convenience tools could exist, most operations can be accomplished through command execution.
