TDQS

A4.1/5.0

Scored across 2 tools

Disambiguation5/5

The two tools serve clearly distinct purposes: one performs searches across Google Scholar, while the other retrieves citation formats for a previously returned result. There is no functional overlap, and their complementary relationship is explicit.

Naming Consistency4/5

Both names share the same provider prefix and follow a snake_case get-style verb, making them predictable. The resource segment differs (cite vs scholar), but this is minor and does not obscure meaning.

Tool Count3/5

With only two tools, the server feels thin for a domain as broad as Google Scholar. However, the two tools cover the most essential scholarly search and citation workflows, so the count is borderline but not unreasonable.

Completeness4/5

The core workflow of searching for scholarly results and retrieving citation formats is well covered. Missing capabilities like fetching a full author profile or a detailed cited-by list are notable but can be worked around via the existing search parameters.
