TDQS
Scored across 6 tools
Each tool targets a distinct FFmpeg operation: concatenation, conversion, cutting, raw commands, image-to-video, and silence removal. No overlap; ffmpeg_raw is explicitly a catch-all for advanced cases, maintaining clear boundaries.
Tool names mostly follow a verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., concat_videos, cut_video, remove_silence). Convert is slightly generic but consistent with the pattern. Overall naming is predictable and readable.
6 tools is well-scoped for an FFmpeg server. It covers common operations without being overwhelming, and each tool has a clear purpose. The count is appropriate for the domain.
The set covers core operations: concatenation, conversion, cutting, image-to-video, and silence removal. Missing some specific tasks like subtitles or scaling, but ffmpeg_raw fills gaps for advanced needs. Minor gaps remain.
