TDQS
Scored across 5 tools
Each tool targets a distinct action: adding, checking, listing, and removing channels. No overlap in functionality.
All tools follow snake_case verb_noun pattern (e.g., add_channel, check_new_videos), perfectly consistent.
5 tools is appropriate for a YouTube watch tracking server, covering core operations without excess.
Covers CRUD for channels with add/list/remove, plus two video retrieval methods. Minor gap: no tool explicitly resets or updates watch status, but check_new_videos handles new video detection.
