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

| PROFILER_PORT | No | HTTP default port | 22222 |
| PROFILER_TRANSPORT | No | Default transport type | streamable |
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 10 tools
Each tool targets a distinct aspect of system performance: specific subsystems (CPU, memory, disk, network, processes), a comprehensive overview, a brief summary, system info, process profiling, and process search. There is no overlap that would confuse an agent.
The majority of tools follow a consistent 'get_<subsystem>_metrics' pattern. Two tools use 'get_' with different objects (summary, info), and two use different verbs (profile, search). This is mostly consistent with minor deviations.
10 tools is well-suited for a Linux profiler server. Each tool serves a clear purpose without being redundant or excessive, covering the necessary scope for performance monitoring and profiling.
The tool set covers all major performance domains (CPU, memory, disk, network, processes) and includes a comprehensive report, a summary, system info, and advanced per-process profiling. This provides a complete surface for typical Linux performance analysis.
