TDQS

C2/5.0

Scored across 49 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose targeting specific Zendesk resources (articles, tickets, users, etc.) with specific actions (create, get, list, update, delete). The naming convention makes it impossible to confuse tools since each combination of verb and resource name is unique and unambiguous.

Naming Consistency5/5

All 49 tools follow a perfectly consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case throughout. The verbs (create, get, list, update, delete, search, support_info) are applied systematically across resources, creating a predictable and readable naming scheme.

Tool Count2/5

With 49 tools, this server feels excessively heavy for typical MCP usage. While Zendesk has many resource types, the tool count suggests over-fragmentation where a more consolidated approach might be more agent-friendly. This many tools will likely overwhelm agents and increase misselection risk.

Completeness5/5

The tool surface provides comprehensive CRUD coverage for all major Zendesk resources (articles, automations, groups, macros, organizations, tickets, triggers, users, views) plus listing operations, search, and support info. There are no obvious gaps for the customer support domain this server targets.
