TDQS

A4/5.0

Scored across 16 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose targeting specific tmux operations with no overlap. For example, tmux_capture_pane reads content, tmux_send_keys inputs commands, and tmux_kill_pane/ tmux_kill_window/ tmux_kill_session handle different termination scopes, making misselection unlikely.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent tmux_verb_noun pattern with snake_case throughout. The naming is predictable and readable, such as tmux_list_sessions, tmux_create_window, and tmux_rename_session, without any deviations in style.

Tool Count4/5

With 16 tools, the count is slightly high but reasonable for comprehensive tmux management, covering sessions, windows, panes, and interactions. It's well-scoped for the domain, though it borders on the heavier side without being excessive.

Completeness5/5

The tool set provides complete CRUD/lifecycle coverage for tmux operations, including creation, listing, modification, interaction, and termination of sessions, windows, and panes. No obvious gaps exist, enabling agents to perform full workflows without dead ends.
