TDQS

B3.3/5.0

Scored across 5 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: validation, overview, text retrieval, data file retrieval, and search. There is no overlap in functionality, and the descriptions reinforce the boundaries.

Naming Consistency4/5

All tool names use snake_case and a verb-object structure, but there is a minor inconsistency: three tools use the 'get_publication_*' prefix, while 'get_data_file' omits 'publication' and 'search_publication' uses a different object. This is a slight deviation from a fully uniform pattern.

Tool Count5/5

With 5 tools, the server is well-scoped for its stated purpose of querying and verifying statistics in a publication. Each tool contributes a necessary function without redundancy or bloat.

Completeness4/5

The core workflow of validating, retrieving metadata, fetching text and data, and searching is covered. A minor gap is the lack of a direct tool to fetch specific sections or subsets of a data file beyond the full file, but the search tool partially mitigates this.
