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 |
|---|---|
| start_capture_sessionA | Start a background packet capture session. LLMs control all capture parameters including filters, interfaces, and packet limits. Can use saved configurations. |
| stop_capture_sessionB | Stop a running capture session and analyze packets. LLMs control all analysis parameters including display filters and output formats. Can use saved configurations. |
| analyze_pcap_fileC | Analyze a local pcap/pcapng file. LLMs control all analysis parameters including filters, output formats, and custom fields. Can use saved configurations. |
| manage_configB | Save, load, list, or delete reusable filter configurations. Allows LLMs to store commonly used capture and analysis parameters for easy reuse. |

Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: analyze_pcap_file handles static file analysis, manage_config deals with configuration management, and start_capture_session/stop_capture_session form a clear lifecycle for live captures. There is no overlap or ambiguity between these functions.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case (analyze_pcap_file, manage_config, start_capture_session, stop_capture_session). The naming is predictable and readable throughout the set.
With 4 tools, the server is well-scoped for packet capture and analysis. Each tool earns its place by covering distinct aspects: static analysis, configuration management, and live capture lifecycle. This is an appropriate number for the domain.
The tool set covers core workflows for packet analysis (static and live) with configuration reuse. Minor gaps exist, such as no direct tool for listing or managing saved capture sessions, but agents can work around this using existing tools like manage_config and stop_capture_session.
