TDQS

A4.1/5.0

Scored across 7 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Tools are mostly distinct: search_company finds symbols, get_stock_data provides real-time price, get_detailed_company_info gives comprehensive data, and the remaining four cover market overviews. There is a slight overlap between get_stock_data and get_detailed_company_info (both include price data), but descriptions clarify the difference.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent 'get_' prefix with descriptive snake_case noun phrases (e.g., get_detailed_company_info, get_most_active_stocks). No mixing of conventions or vague verbs.

Tool Count5/5

7 tools is well-scoped for a stock exchange MCP server. It provides a focused set covering search, individual stock data, company info, and market summaries without being overly numerous or sparse.

Completeness3/5

The tool set covers basic read operations (search, price, details, market summary, top movers) but lacks historical data, time series, or order book information. While functional for common queries, there are notable gaps for more advanced analysis.
