TDQS
A3.5/5.0
Scored across 25 tools
Disambiguation5/5
Every tool targets a specific resource and action (e.g., get_boards vs get_board vs get_cards), making them easy to distinguish. Even similar operations like archive_card and close_board are clearly separated by resource type.
Naming Consistency5/5
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with lowercase snake_case (e.g., create_board, update_card, add_attachment). No mixed conventions or vague verbs.
Tool Count3/5
With 25 tools, the set feels heavy, though the breadth of Trello resources (boards, lists, cards, labels, attachments, comments) provides some justification. It sits at the top of the borderline range.
Completeness4/5
The set provides solid CRUD coverage for boards, lists, cards, labels, and attachments, plus comments and search. Minor gaps include label updates, member assignment, and permanent deletion (only archiving is available), but these are not critical.
