Wayback Machine for agents: closest archived copy of a URL with its text, and full capture history

TDQS

A4.2/5.0

Scored across 2 tools

Disambiguation5/5

The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: archived_copy retrieves a specific snapshot, while capture_history enumerates the available snapshots. There is no overlap or ambiguity between them.

Naming Consistency4/5

Both names are two-word noun phrases using snake_case, which is consistent and readable. They could be more actionable as verb-led commands like get_archived_copy and list_capture_history, but the current convention is uniform.

Tool Count4/5

Two tools is minimal, but the server's scope is narrowly focused on reading the Wayback Machine: fetching one capture and exploring the full capture index. Each tool earns its place, though the set feels slightly thin.

Completeness5/5

For a read-only archive access tool, the surface is complete: you can find the closest snapshot with content extraction and query the full capture history with filtering and paging. The raw-bytes URL bridges the two tools effectively.
