TDQS
Scored across 37 tools
Each tool targets a distinct resource and action (e.g., task, checklist, tag, comment, list, space, dependency). The descriptions clearly differentiate between similar operations like add_dependency vs add_task_link, and create_checklist vs create_checklist_item. There is no ambiguity in tool purposes.
All tools follow the 'clickup_verb_noun' pattern in snake_case. Verbs are consistently used (add, create, delete, edit, get, remove, update, set, search). Even compound nouns like 'add_tag_to_task' maintain the same structure. No mixing of conventions.
With 37 tools, the server covers a broad range of ClickUp operations. While this is above the typical 3-15 tool guideline, the complexity of ClickUp warrants many endpoints. Each tool seems necessary for core workflows, so it is slightly over but still reasonable.
The tool set covers tasks, checklists, comments, lists, tags, and spaces comprehensively, but notable gaps exist: there is no update_list, create_folder, delete_folder, or any space management (create/update/delete spaces). These missing operations could force agents into incomplete workflows.
