TDQS
Scored across 2 tools
The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: list_outputs lists monitors, take_screenshot captures the screen. There is no overlap or ambiguity.
Both tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (list_outputs, take_screenshot), which is predictable and clear.
With only 2 tools, the server is minimal but still reasonably scoped for basic screenshot functionality. It is slightly under the ideal 3-15 range but not problematic.
The server covers essential screenshot needs (full screen, region capture) and provides monitor listing. Missing advanced features like window capture or delay, but these are minor gaps.
