TDQS
A3.8/5.0
Scored across 2 tools
Disambiguation5/5
The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: get_current_date retrieves date information, while get_current_time retrieves time information. There is no overlap in functionality, and an agent would easily differentiate between them based on their names and descriptions.
Naming Consistency5/5
Both tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with 'get_current_' prefix, using snake_case throughout. The naming is predictable and readable, with no deviations in style or convention.
Tool Count2/5
With only two tools, the server feels thin for a DateTime domain. A comprehensive DateTime server would typically include tools for date/time manipulation, formatting, timezone handling, or date arithmetic, not just current date and time retrieval.
Completeness2/5
The toolset is severely incomplete for a DateTime server. It lacks basic operations like date/time parsing, formatting control, timezone conversions, date arithmetic (add/subtract days), or comparisons. Agents will hit dead ends when needing anything beyond current date/time retrieval.
