Instructions

Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0

Scored across 2 tools

Disambiguation5/5

The two tools serve entirely distinct purposes: handbook for accessing the Glyphs Handbook content, and vocabulary for UI terminology translation. There is no overlap in functionality or intent.

Naming Consistency4/5

Both tool names are single, descriptive nouns (handbook, vocabulary), which is consistent. However, they do not follow a verb_noun pattern; the actions inside each tool use verbs (search, get, translate), which is clear but slightly inconsistent in style across levels.

Tool Count3/5

With only 2 tools, the server feels thin for a general 'glyphs-info' purpose. While each tool is well-featured, the scope might benefit from additional tools covering other info domains, though the current count is not unreasonable for a focused info server.

Completeness3/5

The handbook tool covers a wide range of operations (search, get, TOC, parameters, cache) and the vocabulary tool covers translation and search. However, missing potential areas like glyph specifications or font metadata suggest the set is not fully complete for all Glyphs information needs.
