Describes the environment variables required to run the server.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

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 3 tools
Each tool targets a distinct stage: audit_project scans an existing project, check_package evaluates individual license strings or packages before install, and generate_notices produces an attribution file. The descriptions explicitly clarify the boundary between audit_project and check_package, so an agent is unlikely to select the wrong tool.
All three tools follow the same verb_noun snake_case pattern: audit_project, check_package, generate_notices. The naming is predictable and immediately conveys the action and target of each tool.
Three tools is a well-scoped count for a focused license-compliance server. Each tool covers a non-overlapping, meaningful workflow step without unnecessary bloat or missing core functionality.
The toolset covers the main license compliance lifecycle: audit a project, check new dependencies, and generate notices. Minor gaps exist around policy configuration/allowlisting and detailed reporting on all permissive dependencies, but agents can work around these using the provided outputs.
