TDQS

A4.6/5.0

Scored across 1 tool

Disambiguation5/5

Only one tool exists, so there is no possibility of confusion or overlap. An agent can clearly select the search tool without ambiguity.

Naming Consistency5/5

The single tool is named 'search', which is a clear, concise verb that directly describes its purpose. There are no other tools to create inconsistency.

Tool Count3/5

With only one tool, the server is minimal. While a single search tool can be sufficient for basic web search functionality, the scope feels slightly thin compared to many MCP servers that offer multiple related operations.

Completeness4/5

The search tool covers the core domain of web search with configurable parameters (num_results, lang, unique, safe). It lacks advanced features like image or news search, but for its stated purpose of returning web results, it is reasonably complete.
