Glama couldn't complete the latest health check. If this server requires authentication, missing or expired test credentials may be the cause. A test profile lets Glama authenticate for health checks and discover tools; it is separate from your personal connections.

TDQS

A3.5/5.0

Scored across 36 tools

Disambiguation2/5

The set contains several overlapping families: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, and ask_pipeworx_grounded all route questions; discover_tools and suggest_questions both reveal capabilities; and polymarket_arbitrage, polymarket_edges, polymarket_edge_tracker, polymarket_fill_risk, and polymarket_kalshi_spread overlap heavily around prediction-market analysis. Detailed descriptions reduce but do not eliminate misselection risk, especially since ask_pipeworx_beta currently duplicates ask_pipeworx.

Naming Consistency4/5

All tool names use snake_case consistently, with no camelCase or punctuation drift. The main variation is verb-first versus noun-first phrasing (e.g., list_foods vs entity_profile, polymarket_edges), but the convention remains predictable.

Tool Count2/5

36 tools is in the excessive 25+ range and includes redundant meta-variants such as ask_pipeworx_beta alongside multiple Polymarket scanners. For a server labeled Usda Fdc, this is a substantial scope mismatch; even as a broad Pipeworx gateway it feels heavy and partially duplicative.

Completeness4/5

For USDA FoodData Central, the surface covers search, browse, food-group listing, full record retrieval, and nutrient extraction, which is adequate for a read-only reference API. The broader Pipeworx tool set is also wide-ranging, though the combination leaves the server without a single coherent domain to fully complete.
