TDQS
Scored across 10 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: file read, write, delete, move, list, change log, workspace index/search, web fetch, and web search. No two tools overlap in functionality.
Most tools follow a consistent pattern: 'file_<verb>' (file_read, file_write, file_delete, file_move, file_changes_get) and 'workspace_<verb>' (workspace_index, workspace_search). Minor deviation: 'directory_list' instead of 'file_list' and 'web_fetch'/'web_search' are separate but still consistent with their domain.
With 10 tools, the set is well-scoped for managing workspace files and performing web searches. Each tool serves a clear purpose without unnecessary redundancy.
The tool set covers CRUD for files, directory listing, change tracking, offline full-text search, and web operations. A minor gap is the lack of an explicit file copy tool, though move can be used with caution.
