TDQS

A3.8/5.0

Scored across 5 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct aspect: search_records for querying, get_citation for citations, detect_data_type for classification, get_metadata for detailed metadata, and list_files for files. There is no meaningful overlap between their purposes.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (search_records, get_citation, detect_data_type, get_metadata, list_files). The verbs clearly indicate the action, and the nouns indicate the resource aspect.

Tool Count5/5

Five tools is well-scoped for a server focused on searching and retrieving Zenodo records. Each tool earns its place, and the count is within the ideal 3-15 range without feeling thin or bloated.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers the core read-only workflow: search, retrieve metadata, list files, get citations, and detect data types. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no direct record download, no deposit/update functionality), but for a read-oriented server the surface is largely complete.
