Describe the situation in plain words, including how it feels ("the PM keeps adding scope two days before release", "manager set an impossible deadline", "team is burnt out after a long migration"). Returns verses with their chapter citation, best match first. Use list_themes first if you want to browse the vocabulary instead of describing a situation. |

TDQS
Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct role: list_themes for vocabulary browsing, find_quote for situation-based search, random_quote for random selection, and quote_card for rendering. There is no functional overlap between them.
list_themes and find_quote follow a verb_noun pattern, but random_quote and quote_card are noun phrases, mixing conventions. The names are still readable and consistently lowercase with underscores.
With only 4 tools, the server is tightly scoped for its purpose of delivering Art of War quotes. Each tool earns its place and the count is appropriate.
The core workflow of finding, randomizing, and sharing quotes is covered, but there is no way to list all quotes for a given theme or fetch a quote's text by citation. These are notable gaps for a quote-focused server.
