TDQS

B3.4/5.0

Scored across 64 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool pairs a distinct resource with a clear action, spanning channels, messages, users, files, reminders, canvases, and lists. Close pairs like list_channels/list_user_channels and create_canvas/create_channel_canvas are clearly differentiated by their descriptions and target nouns.

Naming Consistency4/5

The vast majority of tools follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern, such as list_channels, create_channel, send_message, and delete_file. Minor deviations like send_ephemeral, open_dm, auth_test, reply_in_thread, markdown_to_canvas, and markdown_to_list slightly break the pattern but remain readable and predictable.

Tool Count1/5

With 64 tools, the server far exceeds the well-scoped 3-15 range and even crosses the 50+ extreme threshold. While Slack has a large API surface, exposing this many endpoints in one MCP server creates a heavy, overwhelming toolset for agents to navigate.

Completeness4/5

The tool surface covers most major Slack domains: channels, messages, threads, files, users, reminders, bookmarks, scheduled messages, canvases, and lists. Common missing operations like listing pinned messages, getting a single message, leaving a channel, or renaming a channel are notable gaps but can usually be worked around.
