I agree with olivier here, wayland-info should always work, against any compositor and just list the basic information about the protocols - and all of them, ideally. No interactivity, no toolkits, no debugging beyond the most basic grep. Any other tools can well go into a wayland-utils repo but they're different to wayland-info.
