TDQS

A3.8/5.0

Scored across 38 tools

Disambiguation2/5

Several clusters have unclear boundaries: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, and ask_pipeworx_grounded are the same router with different evidence modes (beta is currently identical), and ai_visibility_check/scan_competitor_ai_presence plus discover_tools/suggest_questions overlap heavily. The prediction-market tools (bet_research, polymarket_edges, polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_kalshi_spread) also have overlapping discovery/edge-finding purposes, so an agent can easily select the wrong one.

Naming Consistency3/5

Names are uniformly lowercase snake_case and cluster prefixes like polymarket_*, ask_pipeworx_*, and pipeworx_* are helpful. However the set mixes verb_noun (compare_entities, discover_tools, validate_claim), noun_noun (biotech_news, company_facts, entity_profile, release_calendar_markets), and bare verbs (forget, recall, remember, subscribe), so the pattern is readable but not predictable.

Tool Count2/5

38 tools is well beyond the 3-15 well-scoped range and the 16-25 borderline band, and the count is especially disproportionate for a server named 'Biotech News': only biotech_news and biotech_news_sources are domain-specific. The rest form a general data/research platform, so the set feels like several servers merged into one rather than a focused tool surface.

Completeness3/5

For the stated biotech-news domain, the set has headline aggregation and source listing but no article-content retrieval, no explicit historical date-range search (only a trailing day window), and no biotech-news subscription type. The broader Pipeworx tools (ask_pipeworx, deep_research, recent_changes, validate_claim) fill many adjacent research workflows, so it is workable but has notable gaps for the named purpose; also, many tools return pipeworx:// citations with no matching read tool in the set.

        Previous value: -"Assumed execution slippage in percentage points per leg (default 0.3). Subtracted from raw |edge| before ranking and Kelly sizing.

Bump for very thin partitions; drop to 0 if you have a smarter fill model."New value: +"Assumed execution slippage in percentage points per leg (default 0.3), for bid/ask + thin depth cost that a last-trade price does not show. Subtracted from raw |edge| before ranking and Kelly sizing, ON TOP OF Polymarket's own taker fee — which is NOT zero (rate 0.04-0.07 depending on category, read off each market's own published fee schedule; see fees_pp_applied on every row and fees.ts for the full schedule). Bump slippage for very thin partitions; drop to 0 if you have a smarter fill model — the fee still applies regardless."
