TDQS

A4/5.0

Scored across 40 tools

Disambiguation3/5

Several tool families have genuinely overlapping purposes (ask_pipeworx vs ask_pipeworx_beta vs ask_pipeworx_grounded vs deep_research, and seven-plus polymarket tools), and their descriptions spend enormous effort drawing boundaries between themselves, which is itself a sign of ambiguity. Other clusters are clearly distinct (book lookup, memory, subscriptions). The elaborate guidance makes selection possible but not crisp.

Naming Consistency4/5

Nearly everything follows a predictable snake_case verb_noun or domain-prefixed pattern (get_book, search_books, polymarket_*, ask_pipeworx_*, resolution_*). A few names are noun-only (company_facts, entity_profile, remember, recall, forget), which is a minor deviation rather than a convention break. No camelCase or style mixing.

Tool Count2/5

40 tools is well past the heavy threshold for a set this size, and there is real redundancy (three near-identical ask_pipeworx variants, a dense cluster of overlapping prediction-market tools). While the gateway spans many domains, the sheer count forces an agent to parse huge descriptions to pick correctly. The book-specific surface (4 tools) is small relative to the total.

Completeness4/5

The broader gateway surface is unusually complete: memory CRUD (remember/recall/forget), subscription lifecycle (subscribe/list/unsubscribe/alerts), feedback, entity resolution, financials, and prediction-market analysis. Book coverage (search_books, get_book, get_book_work, get_author) is solid for discovery and lookup, with only minor gaps like no edition-listing or subject-browse. No obvious dead ends.
