TDQS

B3.2/5.0

Scored across 2 tools

Disambiguation5/5

The two tools serve completely different purposes—searching files and sending emails—so there is no ambiguity or overlap between them.

Naming Consistency5/5

Both tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (search_attachments, send_email) using snake_case, making them predictable and clear.

Tool Count2/5

With only 2 tools, the server feels very minimal for an email-sending purpose. The inclusion of a generic file search tool rather than email-specific operations (e.g., list inbox, get message) suggests under-scoping.

Completeness3/5

For a server focused on sending emails, the send_email tool covers the core action, and search_attachments helps locate potential attachments. However, it lacks any tools for managing drafts, retrieving sent emails, or handling recipient lists, leaving notable gaps.
