TDQS
Scored across 6 tools
Tools are mostly distinct: daily, search, citation, and index each target different actions. However, hf_papers_info and hf_papers_check both return metadata, which could cause an agent to select the wrong one.
All tools share the consistent hf_papers_ prefix, but the suffixes mix parts of speech (daily is an adjective, info and citation are nouns, while search, check, and index are verbs). The naming is readable and predictable, but not perfectly uniform verb_noun.
With 6 tools covering discovery, search, metadata, citation, verification, and indexing, the count is well-scoped for a Hugging Face papers server. No redundant or missing tools at this granularity.
The tool surface covers the key research workflow: discovering papers (daily), searching (search), retrieving details (info), citing (citation), checking availability (check), and adding new papers (index). No obvious dead ends or missing core operations.
