TDQS
Scored across 34 tools
Each tool targets a distinct resource and action, with clear entity-specific names (e.g., get_activity_by_id vs get_activity_streams vs get_comments_by_activity_id). Even similar operations like route exports are distinguished by format (GPX vs TCX). No overlap or ambiguity exists.
All tools follow a uniform verb_noun pattern using HTTP method prefixes (get_, put_, post_) followed by the resource and optional identifier (e.g., put_update_activity_by_id, post_create_upload). The naming is entirely consistent across the set.
With 34 tools, the server far exceeds the typical well-scoped range (3-15) and even the borderline heavy range (16-25). While the Strava API is broad, this many tools makes the surface overweight and risks overwhelming agents during tool selection.
The tool set covers major resources (athlete, activities, segments, routes, clubs, gear, uploads, streams) with read and some write operations, but lacks delete operations for activities and uploads, creating lifecycle gaps. Additionally, creation is missing for some resources like routes, although these may not be API-supported. Overall, notable gaps exist but the core workflows are covered.
