TDQS
Scored across 4 tools
Each tool targets a distinct function: fact-checking claims, searching public records, searching articles, and retrieving weekly trackers. There is no overlap in purpose.
All tools follow a consistent 'nexus_<noun>' snake_case pattern, with descriptive names like factcheck, record_lookup, search, and tracker.
Four tools is well-scoped for a news and public records server, covering fact-checking, record lookup, search, and topic tracking without unnecessary bloat.
The tool set covers core workflows but lacks direct article retrieval by ID or more granular record types, which are minor gaps for a news corpus and public records server.
