TDQS
Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no ambiguity: two tools retrieve specific media by ID (image vs. video), and two tools search for media (images vs. videos). The resource type (image/video) and action (get/search) are consistently differentiated, making misselection unlikely.
Tool names follow a perfect verb_noun pattern throughout: all use snake_case with consistent verbs ('get' for retrieval, 'search' for searching) and clear nouns ('image_by_id', 'video_by_id', 'images', 'videos'). There are no deviations or mixed conventions.
With 4 tools, this server is well-scoped for its Pixabay media retrieval purpose. Each tool earns its place by covering essential operations: retrieval and search for both images and videos, which is appropriate and not overly complex or thin.
The tool surface is complete for the domain of accessing Pixabay media. It provides full coverage for both images and videos with retrieval (get) and discovery (search) operations, leaving no obvious gaps or dead ends for an agent working with this API.
