TDQS

B3.2/5.0

Scored across 26 tools

Disambiguation3/5

Most tools target distinct resources or calculations, but there are notable overlaps: lookup_starting_hand and get_preflop_chart both cover 100BB 6-max GTO opening ranges, and search_strategy_lessons also spans range/strategy content. Some calculation tools are differentiated by descriptions, but the strategy/range area creates real misselection risk.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names use clear snake_case verb_noun phrasing, with predictable verb families: get_ for retrieval, lookup_ for reference lookups, search_ for search, calculate_ for computations, and generate_ for creation. The convention is consistently applied across the full set.

Tool Count2/5

At 26 tools, the server exceeds the practical ceiling for easy agent selection. While the domain is broad, several calculators and content-retrieval tools could be consolidated or grouped, and the volume makes the surface feel heavy.

Completeness4/5

Coverage is broad across rules, variants, strategy lessons, poker math calculators, venues, tournament series, platform specs, research, and freerolls. Minor gaps remain, such as no hand-history analysis or account/club management, but core reference and calculation workflows are well represented.
