TDQS
Scored across 39 tools
Descriptions are unusually rich and most tools state their distinct purpose, but there are genuine near-duplicates: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta (explicitly 'identical router'), ask_pipeworx_grounded, and deep_research all answer 'look this up', and entity_profile / compare_entities / company_facts / recent_changes / resolve_entity overlap heavily on company lookups. The polymarket_* family (edges, arbitrage, edge_tracker, fill_risk, kalshi_spread, bet_research) is well-differentiated by description but still a dense cluster an agent must read carefully to route.
Every tool is snake_case and most follow a verb_noun or domain_noun pattern (ads_search, polymarket_fill_risk, resolution_diff, list_subscriptions). Deviations are minor: a few bare verbs (remember, recall, forget, subscribe, unsubscribe) and inconsistent domain prefixing (ads_/polymarket_/pipeworx_ vs unprefixed generic tools).
39 tools is well past the heavy threshold and, for a server whose declared identity is 'Nasa Ads', wildly over-scoped — only 3 tools touch ADS while the rest are a general data gateway. Several tools (ask_pipeworx_beta, polymarket_edge_tracker) are marginal additions on top of already-numerous siblings.
As a gateway surface it is broad and lifecycle-complete: discovery (discover_tools, suggest_questions), search/lookup, entity resolution, grounded validation, memory (remember/recall/forget), and subscriptions (subscribe/list/unsubscribe/recent_alerts) all have coverage. Minor gaps: the ADS subset has only search/paper/citations with no author or metrics/export tool, and the beta/grounded router variants exist without a clear retirement path.
