TDQS
Scored across 11 tools
Each tool has a distinct purpose: authentication, user info, list retrieval, and CRUD operations on anime list entries are clearly separated. Bulk operations are distinct from single ones, and authentication tools cover different steps.
All tools follow the 'mal_verb_noun' pattern consistently. Verbs are descriptive and consistent (e.g., get_, update_, remove_, bulk_*). No mixing of styles.
11 tools is well-scoped for a MyAnimeList user list management server. Covers authentication, CRUD, bulk operations, and debugging without excess.
The set covers most lifecycle operations for anime list entries, but lacks a single-add tool (only bulk add). Also missing update for user profile, but that's minor. Agents can work around using bulk_add with a single ID.
