TDQS
Scored across 6 tools
Each tool targets a distinct operation: lifecycle (create, cleanup, list), interaction (execute computer action), and observation (get screenshot, get stream URL). No overlap in functionality.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case (e.g., create_sandbox, get_screenshot, list_sandboxes). Only execute_computer_action has a longer form but remains consistent with the pattern.
Six tools is well-scoped for managing a remote desktop sandbox, covering creation, listing, cleanup, interaction, and screen/stream access without being excessive.
The tool set covers essential lifecycle (create, list, cleanup) and common interaction (execute action, screenshot, stream). Minor gaps like file upload or additional automation are not critical for core sandbox usage.
