TDQS
Scored across 6 tools
The tools are mostly distinct with clear purposes: creating, getting, and updating survey summaries, plus a property definition tool. However, 'get_survey_summaries' and 'get_survey_summary' could be slightly confusing due to similar names, but their descriptions clarify one fetches multiple summaries and the other a single one. No major overlap exists between other tools.
The naming follows a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case throughout, such as 'create_new_survey_summary' and 'update_survey_summary_property'. The only minor deviation is 'get_property_definition' which uses a slightly different noun structure compared to others, but it still fits the overall pattern well.
With 6 tools, this server is well-scoped for managing survey summaries in a research context. The count is appropriate, covering core operations like create, get, and update without being overwhelming or too sparse, making it efficient for agents to handle typical workflows.
The server provides good coverage for survey summary operations, including create, get, and update functions. However, there is a notable gap: no delete tool is present, which could limit full lifecycle management. Additionally, while property handling is included, the lack of a delete operation for survey summaries reduces completeness for CRUD workflows.
