TDQS

A3.7/5.0

Scored across 2 tools

Disambiguation5/5

The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: get_transcript retrieves transcript content, while list_transcripts only enumerates available languages. There is no overlap in function or confusion about when to use each.

Naming Consistency5/5

Both names follow a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern (get_transcript, list_transcripts). The singular/plural distinction accurately reflects retrieving one transcript versus listing multiple language options.

Tool Count3/5

Two tools is on the thin side, though the server's scope (fetching YouTube transcripts) is narrow enough that a small surface is defensible. It borders on feeling minimal for a standalone server.

Completeness4/5

The core lifecycle is covered: discovering available languages and retrieving transcript text with paging and formatting options. Minor gaps exist (no batch/multi-video retrieval or search), but no essential operation for single-video transcription is missing.
