TDQS
Scored across 88 tools
Each tool follows a clear resource-action pattern with domain prefixes (cf, ks, cr, iam, resource, billing, catalog), making every tool's purpose distinct. Even similar operations like listing service instances in CF vs resource service instances are clearly separated by their prefixes and descriptions.
All tool names use the consistent ibmcloud_<domain>_<verb>_<noun> pattern, with plural nouns for list operations and singular for get/create/update/delete. Standalone commands like ibmcloud_login and ibmcloud_target fit the overall CLI convention without breaking the pattern.
At 88 tools, the server is far beyond a typical MCP size, even for a comprehensive cloud platform. While each tool is independently useful, the sheer number makes selection and discovery unwieldy, and the score guideline suggests 25+ is already too many.
The tool set covers most major IBM Cloud domains with reasonable CRUD coverage, but some lifecycle gaps exist. For example, access groups and their policies have create/list/get operations but no delete or update, and CF apps lack an explicit update op (though push serves that role). Overall, the core workflows are covered.
