TDQS
Scored across 6 tools
Each tool targets a distinct Kubernetes resource or action: namespaces, pods, logs, events, deployments, and services. No functional overlap that would confuse tool selection.
Names follow a consistent lowercase snake_case verb_noun pattern, but four use 'list_' while two use 'get_'. The split is semantically reasonable yet not perfectly uniform.
Six tools form a focused, readable set for read-only Kubernetes inspection and troubleshooting, without redundant or excessive entries.
The set covers the core resources needed for workload troubleshooting: namespaces, pods, logs, cluster events, deployments, and services. There are no obvious dead ends for the inferred read-only diagnostic domain.
