TDQS
Scored across 14 tools
Each tool targets a distinct resource-action combination: metadata operations are clearly separated into validate/get/set/query, notebook operations into list/get/create/delete/share, and sources/audio each have their own dedicated tools. Even get_notebook and get_source are unambiguous because one returns notebook details with sources and the other returns a specific source's details.
All tools follow a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern with the notebooklm_ prefix. Action verbs such as get, set, list, create, delete, add, remove, generate, and share are used predictably across the tool set.
14 tools is well within the ideal range for a domain-specific MCP server. The count covers notebooks, sources, metadata, sharing, and audio without feeling bloated or thin.
The tool surface provides strong lifecycle coverage for notebooks, sources, metadata, and audio overviews. Minor gaps exist such as no explicit notebook update/rename operation, no standalone list-sources tool, and no unshare or list-audio tools, but these are workable gaps rather than critical dead ends.
