TDQS

A4/5.0

Scored 2026-08-31 14:50 across 14 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool maps to a distinct resource-action pair (users, group/open channels, members, messages), and the get/list/create/update/send verbs keep boundaries clear. The raw GET escape hatch is explicitly limited to unwrapped paths, so it does not create meaningful overlap.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow the predictable sendbird_<verb>_<resource> snake_case pattern, with consistent verbs like create, get, list, update, and send. The generic sendbird_request is a deliberate exception rather than a naming inconsistency.

Tool Count5/5

14 tools is within the ideal range and each tool covers a coherent piece of Sendbird's chat platform: users, channels, members, messages, and a raw GET fallback. There are no redundant or filler tools.

Completeness3/5

The set covers common read/list flows and some mutations, but lifecycle coverage has notable gaps: group channels can be created and read but not updated/deleted, messages can be sent and listed but not updated/deleted, and users have no delete operation. The raw GET tool is read-only and cannot compensate for these missing write operations.
