TDQS

B3.2/5.0

Scored across 41 tools

Disambiguation3/5

Multiple tools overlap in functionality (e.g., forward citation search via get_paper_citations and get_openalex_citations; bibliography via get_paper_references and get_openalex_references). While descriptions clarify the source, an agent may mis-select without careful reading.

Naming Consistency4/5

Most tools follow a verb_noun pattern (e.g., search_papers, get_author, lint_latex). Some inconsistency between 'list_' and 'get_' prefixes (list_categories vs get_paper), but overall naming is clear and predictable.

Tool Count3/5

41 tools is high, covering many sub-domains (papers, authors, citations, OCR, datasets, medical search, etc.). While each tool appears justified, the count feels somewhat bloated for a single server, risking agent confusion.

Completeness5/5

The server offers a comprehensive set of operations for academic paper research: search, retrieval, full-text reading, citation/reference graphs, recommendation, author profiles, PDF extraction, formula/table recognition, and even medical evidence search. No critical gaps are apparent.
