TDQS
Scored across 8 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: searching vs. retrieving advisories, listing frameworks/sources, checking data freshness, and searching/retrieving guidance. No overlap or ambiguity.
All tools follow a consistent 'gb_cyber_' prefix and verb_noun pattern (e.g., search_advisories, get_advisory, list_frameworks). The tool 'about' is slightly different but still adheres to the same style.
8 tools is well-scoped for a cybersecurity advisory and guidance server. Each tool performs a necessary function without redundancy, and the count aligns with the server's focused purpose.
The tool set covers search and retrieval for both advisories and guidance, plus metadata and data freshness checks. A minor gap is the lack of a dedicated 'list_all_advisories' tool, but search can approximate that.
