Instructions

Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0

Scored across 4 tools

Disambiguation4/5

The tools are mostly distinct: list_mailing_lists discovers lists, search_list filters by criteria, page_list browses without filters, and get_message fetches a specific message. However, search_list with no criteria could overlap with page_list, though descriptions clarify the intended use.

Naming Consistency5/5

All four tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (list_mailing_lists, search_list, page_list, get_message) with underscore separation, making the naming predictable and easy to navigate.

Tool Count5/5

With only 4 tools, the server is well-scoped for a read-only IMAP mailing list client. Each tool serves a clear purpose and the count is appropriate for the domain.

Completeness4/5

The core workflows are covered: discovering lists, searching or browsing messages, and fetching a full message. Minor gaps exist, such as no direct message count or raw header retrieval, but these are not critical for typical usage.
