TDQS
Scored across 4 tools
Each tool is clearly distinguished by its output format: HTML, JSON, plain text, and Markdown. There is no overlap in purpose since the format determines the correct tool to use.
All tool names follow the exact same verb_noun pattern: fetch_html, fetch_json, fetch_txt, fetch_markdown. This makes the tool set highly predictable and easy to navigate.
Four tools is well-scoped for a web fetching server, covering the most common output formats without unnecessary bloat. Each tool earns its place and there is no redundancy.
The tool surface fully covers the stated purpose of fetching web content, including raw HTML, structured JSON, readable text, and Markdown. There are no obvious dead ends or missing core operations for a fetch-only server.
