TDQS

C2.9/5.0

Scored across 7 tools

Disambiguation2/5

The tools autonomous_research, deep_research, and research_topic are essentially the same multi-step research workflow, causing confusion. Additionally, get_weather is unrelated to web research, further muddying the tool set's purpose.

Naming Consistency3/5

While all tool names use snake_case, the verb-noun pattern is inconsistent: some are verb_noun (browse_page, extract_article), others are adjective_noun (autonomous_research, deep_research), noun_verb (web_search), or noun_noun (research_topic). The mix is noticeable but not chaotic.

Tool Count4/5

With 7 tools, the count is appropriate for a focused web research server. It covers the main operations without being overwhelming, though redundant research tools could be consolidated.

Completeness3/5

The server covers key research steps: search, browse, extract, and synthesize. However, the three overlapping research tools suggest poor design and missed opportunities for distinct operations like saving results or managing sessions. The weather tool is off-topic.
