TDQS
Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a distinct purpose: indexing files, searching passages, listing indexed sources, and showing system stats—no overlap or ambiguity.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern (e.g., index_path, list_sources) with clear, predictable naming.
With only 4 tools, the set is well-scoped for a document retrieval MCP, covering core operations without unnecessary bloat.
The set covers key operations (index, search, list, stats) but lacks a tool to delete indexed documents, which is a minor but notable gap.
