TDQS
Scored across 8 tools
Each tool targets a clearly distinct operation: add/list/edit/delete expenses, add/list credits, summarize, and get balance. There are no overlapping or confusable tools; an agent can easily select the correct action.
Most tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern like add_expense, list_expenses, edit_expense, delete_expense, add_credit. Minor deviations include the bare verb 'summarize' and 'get_balance' instead of something like 'summarize_expenses' or 'get_balance', but the overall pattern remains readable and predictable.
With 8 tools, the set is well-scoped for an expense tracker. There are enough tools to cover core operations without unnecessary redundancy or overwhelming the agent.
Expenses have full CRUD coverage (add, list, edit, delete) and there is summarizing plus balance calculation. However, credits only support add and list, with no edit_credit or delete_credit, which creates a notable gap in managing income entries and could leave incorrect credits uncorrectable.
