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.

Scored across 20 tools
Most tools have distinct purposes targeting specific TrueNAS resources like datasets, pools, shares, and users, with clear separation between creation, listing, and modification operations. However, some potential overlap exists between 'modify_dataset_permissions' and 'update_dataset_acl' as both handle dataset access control, though their descriptions differentiate Unix permissions versus ACLs.
Tool names follow a highly consistent verb_noun pattern throughout, such as 'create_dataset', 'list_datasets', 'get_dataset_properties', and 'modify_dataset_permissions'. All tools use snake_case without deviation, making them predictable and readable for an agent.
With 20 tools, the count is slightly high but reasonable for a TrueNAS server covering storage management, sharing protocols, and user administration. It includes core operations for datasets, pools, shares, snapshots, and users, though it might benefit from consolidation in areas like debugging tools.
The tool set provides comprehensive coverage for dataset lifecycle (create, list, get, modify, snapshot), storage pools, and sharing protocols (NFS, SMB, iSCSI), with user management included. Minor gaps exist, such as missing update/delete operations for shares or targets, but agents can likely work around these for core workflows.
