TDQS
A4/5.0
Scored across 2 tools
Disambiguation5/5
Both tools are clearly distinct: one searches for authors, the other for books. Although search_books can return books by author name, the result types are different, so an agent can easily choose the right tool.
Naming Consistency5/5
Both tools follow the same verb_noun pattern: search_ + plural entity. This is consistent and predictable.
Tool Count3/5
With only two tools, the server feels thin for a book search domain. It is borderline but acceptable for a narrow search-only purpose.
Completeness3/5
Book and author search are covered, but there are no get-by-ID endpoints. Agents cannot fetch specific records after searching, which is a notable gap in the lifecycle.
