TDQS
Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: formatting dates, getting current datetime, determining day of week, and retrieving timezone information. There is no overlap in functionality, and an agent can easily select the correct tool based on the specific need.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with hyphens (e.g., format-date, get-current-datetime, get-day-of-week, get-timezone-info). The naming is predictable and readable throughout the set.
With 4 tools, the server is well-scoped for handling date and time operations. Each tool serves a unique and essential function, and the count is appropriate for the domain without being too thin or bloated.
The tool set covers core date/time operations like formatting, current datetime retrieval, day-of-week calculation, and timezone info. A minor gap is the lack of date arithmetic or manipulation tools (e.g., add days, compare dates), but agents can work around this with the provided tools.
