TDQS
Scored across 41 tools
The tool set includes several nearly identical tools (ask_pipeworx vs ask_pipeworx_beta, which are currently exactly the same) and many overlapping prediction-market tools (polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_edges, polymarket_edge_tracker, polymarket_fill_risk, polymarket_kalshi_spread) that serve similar edge-finding purposes. Additionally, meta-tools like discover_tools and suggest_questions both help find tools, creating confusion about which to use. The CheapShark-specific tools are distinct, but they are a tiny fraction and the overall surface is cluttered with overlapping capabilities.
Naming conventions are inconsistent: some tools follow a verb_noun pattern (ask_pipeworx, scan_competitor_ai_presence), others are bare nouns (deal, game, stores), and some are single verbs (subscribe, remember, recall). While most names use snake_case, the structural pattern varies widely, and the CheapShark tools (deal, deals, game, games) don't follow the same conventions as the Pipeworx tools. This mix makes it hard to predict what a tool does based on its name alone.
With 41 tools, the server is heavily over-loaded, especially given its name 'Cheapshark' which implies a focused PC-game-deal service. Only 5 of the 41 tools actually relate to CheapShark; the rest are a sprawling collection of data-query, prediction-market, and meta-tools. This is far beyond a well-scoped set and creates significant cognitive overhead for an agent trying to navigate it.
For the CheapShark domain, the set is complete: it covers listing stores, searching deals with filters, fetching a single deal, and getting full game details. However, the server as a whole has no clear domain—it mixes CheapShark with Pipeworx data and prediction markets—so it's hard to judge overall completeness. There are no obvious dead ends for the core CheapShark workflows, but the broader surface feels scattershot rather than intentionally complete.
