TDQS
Scored across 16 tools
Each tool has a clear, distinct purpose. Batch and single variants (e.g., set_read_state vs set_read_state_batch) are explicitly differentiated, and get_email vs get_email_html vs get_emails serve different needs. No overlapping tools could cause selection confusion.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case, using 'batch' as a uniform suffix for multi-item operations. Examples like list_accounts, search_emails, set_star, and create_draft are predictable and uniform.
16 tools is well-scoped for an IMAP server covering read, search, flag, move, draft, and attachment workflows. The count is neither bloated nor thin, and each tool contributes to the core functionality.
The surface covers most essential IMAP operations: reading, searching, flagging, moving, drafts, and attachments. However, there is no delete operation for emails or drafts, and no explicit trash handling, which are minor gaps for typical email workflows.
