TDQS
Scored across 22 tools
Most tools have clearly distinct purposes, with slight overlap between vol-related tools like get_iv_rv_spread and get_vol_surface_metrics. However, descriptions are sufficiently detailed to differentiate them, and each tool targets a specific analytical need.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case. The verbs are uniformly distribute among 'analyze', 'get', and 'run', and nouns clearly describe the resource or action. There is no mixing of conventions.
With 22 tools, the server is slightly above the typical ideal range but still well-scoped for a comprehensive crypto options desk. Each tool serves a distinct purpose, and the count reflects the complexity of the domain without being excessive.
The tool set covers a wide range of analytics including Greeks, strategies, volatility, sentiment, and user positions. However, it lacks execution tools (e.g., place order, modify position), which is a notable gap for a trading desk. Scenario analysis partly compensates but does not replace trading actions.
