TDQS

A3.7/5.0

Scored across 36 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct operation or data type, and the descriptions make boundaries clear: encoding vs hashing, JSON diff vs text diff, schema validation vs schema generation, and text stats vs regex testing are all separate. The two meta tools (find_tool, rate_tool) are also clearly differentiated from the utility tools.

Naming Consistency3/5

All names use snake_case, but conventions are mixed: some are verb_noun (parse_csv, validate_email, hash_text), some are noun_verb (json_diff, url_decode, timestamp_convert), and some are noun_to_noun (json_to_yaml, xml_to_json). The patterns are readable and somewhat systematic, but not a single predictable verb_noun convention.

Tool Count2/5

36 tools is well above the 25-tool threshold where selection burden becomes significant, even if most tools are individually distinct. This is a large utility suite rather than a tightly scoped toolset.

Completeness4/5

The surface covers a wide range of data/dev/QA needs: JSON, YAML, XML, CSV, encoding, hashing, regex, schema validation/generation, mocks, diffs, and text statistics. Minor gaps remain, such as no JSON-to-XML conversion and limited date/time operations beyond timestamp conversion.

Available Tools

36 tools
base64_decodeA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Decode a Base64 string back to UTF-8 text. Use for inspecting Base64-encoded API responses, JWT payload claims, config file values, or attachment data.

Inputs: input (required). Returns: decoded

base64_encodeA

Inputs: input (required). Returns: encoded

case_convertA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Convert a string between naming conventions: camelCase, PascalCase, snake_case, kebab-case, UPPER_SNAKE_CASE, dot.case, Title Case. Essential for code generation and refactoring.

Inputs: to (required), input (required). Returns: result, from_words, target_case

color_convertA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Convert a color between HEX, RGB, and HSL formats. Use when translating design tokens between CSS notations, verifying color accessibility, or normalizing color values from user input. Accepts #rrggbb, #rgb, rgb(r,g,b), or hsl(h,s%,l%).

Inputs: input (required). Returns: b, g, r, hex, +3 more

count_code_linesA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Count lines of code: total, code lines, comment lines, blank lines, and comment density. Supports JS/TS, Python, Java/C/C++, Ruby, Go, Shell, HTML/XML, and CSS.

Inputs: input (required), language. Returns: language, code_lines, blank_lines, total_lines, +3 more

cron_parseA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Inputs: expression (required). Returns: fields, expression, human_readable

decode_jwtA
Read-only
Inspect

Decode a JWT (JSON Web Token) and return its header and payload without verifying the signature. Also reports whether the token is expired and the exact expiry date. Use to inspect claims (sub, iss, exp, roles) during debugging or when integrating with an auth provider.

Inputs: token (required). Returns: note, header, expired, payload, +1 more

diff_textA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Compute a unified line-by-line diff between two text strings (LCS algorithm). Returns added/removed/unchanged line counts and formatted diff hunks with configurable context lines (0–20). Use to compare versions of prompts, configs, code snippets, or any text where you need to see exactly what changed.

Inputs: a (required), b (required), context. Returns: diff, added, removed, unchanged

env_parseA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Parse a .env file content into a JSON object. Handles quoted values (single and double), inline comments, export prefix, and escaped sequences (\n, \t inside double quotes). Returns all key-value pairs. Use in CI/CD pipelines, agent config loaders, or when processing dotenv files programmatically.

Inputs: input (required). Returns: vars, count

extract_json_pathA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Extract a value from a JSON string using dot-notation path (e.g., "user.address.city", "items.0.name", "meta.tags"). Supports array index access via numeric path segments.

Inputs: path (required), input (required). Returns: path, type, value

find_toolA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Search available MCP tools by keyword or category before calling them. Returns names, descriptions and, on request, inputSchemas. Queries are logged 90 days, screened for credentials and personal data. Categories: data, dev, encoding, eval, integrations, llm, meta, qa, rag, security, text, web.

Inputs: query (required), category, max_results, with_schema. Returns: hint, tool, count, query, +5 more

flatten_jsonA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Flatten a nested JSON object to single-level dot-notation keys (e.g. {"a":{"b":1}} → {"a.b":1}), or unflatten dot-notation keys back to a nested object. Supports custom separators.

Inputs: input (required), mode, separator. Returns: result, key_count, max_depth

format_jsonA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Validate and pretty-print a string that is ALREADY valid JSON. Strict by design — it is a validity gate: valid JSON comes back formatted, anything else is rejected with the exact parse error. It never repairs, completes, or guesses. NOT for: plain text or prose (will fail), JSON embedded in markdown/prose (extract_json_from_text pulls it out), JS objects (JSON.stringify them first), YAML (yaml_to_json reads it).

Inputs: input (required), indent. Returns: valid, formatted

generate_slugA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Convert any string into a URL-friendly slug: lowercase, ASCII-normalized (é→e), special characters removed, spaces replaced with hyphens. Use for generating SEO-friendly URL paths, file names, or identifier keys from user-provided titles or labels.

Inputs: input (required), separator. Returns: slug

generate_uuidA
Read-only
Inspect

Generate one or more cryptographically random UUID v4 identifiers. Use this when you need unique IDs for test fixtures, database records, session tokens, or any scenario requiring a guaranteed-unique string. Returns up to 100 UUIDs in one call.

Inputs: count. Returns: count, uuids

hash_textA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Compute a cryptographic hash of a text string. Use when you need to verify data integrity, generate content fingerprints, hash passwords (prefer SHA-256+), or produce a fixed-length digest of any input. Supports SHA-256 (default), SHA-512, SHA-1, and MD5.

Inputs: input (required), algorithm. Returns: hash, algorithm, input_length

json_diffA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Compute a deep structural diff between two JSON values. Returns added, removed, and changed keys with dot-notation paths. Like git diff but for JSON objects, for API response regression testing. Arrays are not compared blindly by position: the same elements in a different order collapse to a single "reordered" change, and an array of records sharing a stable identity field (id, uuid, key, name…) is matched by that field, so paths read [id=42] and a moved record is not reported as N rewrites.

Inputs: after (required), before (required), max_depth. Returns: added, changes, removed, modified, +2 more

json_schema_generateA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Infer a JSON Schema (draft-07) from a sample JSON value. Detects types, required fields, array item shapes, nested objects, and common string formats (email, uri, date, date-time, uuid). Returns a ready-to-use schema compatible with json_schema_validate. Use when you have a sample API response or LLM output and want to auto-generate a validation schema for CI/CD testing.

Inputs: input (required), samples, required_all. Returns: schema, warnings

json_schema_validateA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Validate a JSON value against a JSON Schema (draft-07 subset). Supports type, required, properties, items, enum, const, pattern, format (email/uri/date/date-time/uuid), minimum/maximum, minLength/maxLength, minItems/maxItems, uniqueItems, additionalProperties, anyOf, allOf, oneOf, not, and local $ref (#/definitions/…, #/$defs/…). A schema using a keyword outside that list (patternProperties, if/then, dependencies, a remote $ref…) is never reported valid: the keyword is named in unevaluated_keywords. Returns all validation errors with dot-notation paths.

Inputs: value (required), schema (required). Returns: valid, errors, error_count

json_to_csvA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Convert a JSON array of objects to CSV format. Automatically detects columns from all object keys. Handles quoting and escaping per RFC 4180.

Inputs: input (required), headers, delimiter. Returns: csv, rows, columns, column_names

json_to_yamlA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Convert a JSON object to clean, human-readable YAML. Handles nested objects, arrays, multiline strings, and special characters. No external dependencies.

Inputs: input (required), indent. Returns: yaml, lines

lint_commit_messageA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Validate a git commit message against the Conventional Commits spec (feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, test, chore, ci, perf, build). Returns compliance score, breaking change detection, and actionable suggestions.

Inputs: message (required), strict. Returns: type, scope, score, valid, +4 more

lorem_ipsumA
Read-only
Inspect

Generate Lorem Ipsum placeholder text for UI mockups, design prototypes, or test data population. Configurable paragraphs (1–10), sentences per paragraph (1–20), and approximate words per sentence (3–30).

Inputs: paragraphs, words_per_sentence, sentences_per_paragraph. Returns: paragraphs, paragraph_count

mock_from_schemaB
Read-only
Inspect

Generate realistic mock data from a JSON Schema. Supports all common types (string, number, integer, boolean, array, object, null), format hints (email, date, date-time, uri, uuid), enum, const, and nested schemas.

Inputs: schema (required), seed, count. Returns: count, results

number_base_convertA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Convert numbers between bases: decimal, binary, octal, hexadecimal, or any base 2–36. Auto-detects 0x, 0b, 0o prefixes.

Inputs: input (required), to_base, from_base. Returns: octal, binary, result, decimal, +3 more

openapi_validateA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Validate the structure of an OpenAPI 3.x specification (JSON or YAML). Checks required top-level fields (openapi, info.title, info.version, paths), validates each operation (responses, operationId uniqueness), detects undeclared $ref components, and flags missing 2xx responses. Returns a PASS/FAIL verdict, a 0–100 compliance score, and a list of errors and warnings with JSON-pointer locations. Use before publishing an API spec or generating SDK code.

Inputs: input (required). Returns: score, stats, errors, verdict, +1 more

parse_csvA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Parse a CSV string into a JSON array of objects (or raw arrays). Full RFC 4180: quoted fields may contain the delimiter, embedded newlines (the Excel/Sheets multi-line cell), and doubled quotes. Custom delimiters supported. An unterminated quote is rejected with its position rather than parsed into corrupted rows. Use when processing spreadsheet exports, data imports, or structured text pipelines where the source is CSV. Supports up to 200 KB.

Inputs: input (required), header, delimiter. Returns: rows, columns, headers, row_count

rate_toolA
Destructive
Inspect

Give honest usage feedback on an IA-QA MCP tool. Give a score (1-5) and a comment. Rate low (1-2) if the tool was wrong, irrelevant, or a poor fit; rate high (4-5) only if it genuinely solved your need. Maintainers read ratings, one vote per agent and tool a month: comments and per-tool scores are not published, only the overall average and vote count. Comments are screened: one carrying a credential is not stored, personal data becomes placeholders — describe what happened, not what a model should do. Skip routine successes: signal, not praise. Example: rate_tool({ tool_name: "format_json", score: 2, comment: "Tried to pretty-print a JSON5 file, it rejected trailing commas — not usable for my case." })

Inputs: score (required), tool_name (required), comment. Returns: ok, score, comment, message, +4 more

regex_testA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Test a regular expression pattern against an input string and return all matches with their index positions and named capture groups. Use for validating user inputs, extracting structured data from text, or debugging regex patterns. Supports flags g, i, m, s, u, y. The match runs in an isolated thread with a 500 ms budget: a pattern that blows up (catastrophic backtracking, e.g. "(a+)+$") comes back as redos_detected:true — a real ReDoS verdict on your pattern — instead of hanging.

Inputs: input (required), pattern (required), flags. Returns: note, flags, matched, matches, +5 more

text_statsA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Compute comprehensive statistics for any text: character count (with and without spaces), word count, line count, sentence count, paragraph count, and estimated reading time in minutes. Sentence counting is abbreviation-aware — titles (Mr., Dr.), acronyms (U.S., i.e., p.m.), initials, decimals, URLs and emails do not end a sentence, and a text with no terminal punctuation still counts as one. Use for validating form field lengths, evaluating LLM output verbosity, or content auditing.

Inputs: input (required). Returns: chars, lines, words, sentences, +3 more

timestamp_convertA
Read-only
Inspect

Convert between Unix timestamps (seconds or milliseconds) and ISO-8601 / UTC date strings. Auto-detects epoch vs. millisecond format. Omit input to get the current time. Returns iso, unix_s, unix_ms, utc, date, and time fields.

Inputs: input. Returns: iso, utc, date, time, +2 more

url_decodeA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Decode a percent-encoded URL string back to plain text. Use when parsing query parameters from raw URLs or when displaying encoded values to users.

Inputs: input (required). Returns: decoded

url_encodeA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Percent-encode a string for safe use in query strings, path segments or form-encoded bodies, so it cannot inject or break a URL.

Inputs: input (required), mode. Returns: encoded

validate_emailA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Validate an email address against RFC 5322 syntax before storing it, sending a transactional email, or adding it to a mailing list. Returns { valid, email } — use this to avoid bounces and malformed data.

Inputs: email (required). Returns: email, valid, reason

xml_to_jsonA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Convert an XML string to a JSON object. Supports attributes, nested elements, arrays, CDATA, and namespaces. Options: parse numbers, parse booleans, ignore attributes.

Inputs: input (required), attr_prefix, ignore_attrs, parse_values. Returns: result, key_count

yaml_to_jsonA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Parse a YAML string and return the equivalent JSON value. The reverse of json_to_yaml. Supports nested objects, arrays, anchors, aliases, multi-document streams, and all scalar types. Use when processing config files, CI/CD pipeline definitions, or OpenAPI specs authored in YAML.

Inputs: input (required), multi. Returns: json, count, documents
