TDQS
Scored across 15 tools
Each tool targets a distinct email operation: folder listing, email search, reading, sending, drafting, flag management, moving, deleting, and attachments. Even closely related tools like get_folders, switch_folder, and get_mailbox_status have clearly separate purposes.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case, such as get_folders, send_email, mark_read, and delete_email. There are no mixed styles or vague verbs.
15 tools is well-scoped for an email MCP server, covering the full range of common operations without redundancy. Each tool earns its place, and the count is at the upper end of the ideal range but appropriate.
The tool set covers core email workflows: send, receive, search, read, draft, flags, move, delete, attachments, and folder selection. Minor gaps include lack of folder creation/deletion and advanced search refinement, but these are not critical for typical usage.
