TDQS
Scored across 15 tools
Most tools have clearly distinct purposes, but get_file and get_file_content overlap somewhat, as do list_files and search_files. Descriptions help differentiate them.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (e.g., create_file, list_files, delete_file), with no exceptions.
15 tools is well-scoped for a Google Drive server, covering file operations, folders, sharing, permissions, and search without being excessive.
Core CRUD, sharing, permissions, and search are covered. Missing features like trash or copy folder are minor gaps that do not hinder typical workflows.
