TDQS

A3.8/5.0

Scored across 11 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have distinct purposes (create, edit, delete, list, get). The edit_object tool description mentions it is used when create_object cannot handle creation, which could cause slight confusion, but overall each tool's intent is clear.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case, such as create_object, list_documents, get_view. Pluralization for list/get operations is appropriate and consistent.

Tool Count5/5

With 11 tools covering document management, object CRUD, viewing, parts library, and code execution, the count is well-scoped for a CAD tool server, providing necessary functionality without bloat.

Completeness4/5

Core CRUD and document operations are covered. Missing are save/close document tools, but arbitrary code execution via execute_code can fill gaps. Overall, the tool surface is reasonably complete for typical CAD workflows.
