TDQS
Scored across 11 tools
Most tools target clearly distinct Kubernetes resources and actions, such as list_pods vs list_deployments vs create_pod. The only mild ambiguity is cleanup, which could overlap conceptually with delete_pod if 'managed resources' includes pods created by the server.
The set mostly follows a predictable verb_noun pattern: list_pods, create_pod, delete_pod, describe_pod, get_logs. cleanup is the main deviation because it uses a single vague verb without a resource noun.
With 11 tools, the server is well-scoped for common Kubernetes inspection and basic pod/deployment operations. Each tool has a reasonably clear place and the count is neither thin nor bloated.
The surface covers listing core resources, creating pods/deployments, deleting pods, describing pods, logs, and cleanup. However, it lacks obvious lifecycle operations such as deleting deployments/services, updating or scaling deployments, and describing deployments/services, which limits common Kubernetes workflows.
