TDQS
Scored across 8 tools
Each tool targets a distinct resource and action: boards, lists, cards, comments, moves, search, and checklist items. list_cards and search_cards could superficially overlap, but the descriptions clearly distinguish browsing a board/list from global search.
All tools use a consistent trello_ prefix followed by a verb_noun pattern, such as trello_list_boards and trello_move_card. There are no deviations in casing or verb style.
Eight tools are well-scoped for a focused Trello workflow covering discovery, card inspection, search, comments, moves, and checklist updates. Each tool has a clear role without excessive surface area.
The set supports reading and some card actions but lacks fundamental Trello operations such as creating cards, creating lists, updating card fields, and archiving/deleting items. These gaps will block common agent workflows despite the solid read/search/move coverage.
