TDQS
Scored across 8 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: SSL cert checking, DNS lookups, MAC vendor lookup, ping, port checking, speedtest, traceroute, and Wake-on-LAN. No two tools overlap in functionality.
All tool names follow a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern (e.g., cert_check, dns_lookup, mac_lookup). Even 'ping' fits as a concise verb in the network domain.
With 8 tools, the server covers a practical range of network diagnostics without being bloated. Each tool addresses a common need, making the count well-scoped.
The set covers essential network tools (DNS, ping, traceroute, port check, speed test, SSL cert, MAC lookup, WoL). Minor gaps like a whois lookup or HTTP status check are not critical but could be included.
