    TDQS

    C2.1/5.0

    Scored across 6 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool targets a distinct action and resource (account, transaction, budget, category). The names clearly differentiate them, with no overlap in purpose.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case (e.g., get_accounts, create_transaction). The naming is uniform and predictable.

    Tool Count5/5

    With 6 tools, the server is well-scoped for a personal finance domain, covering essential reads and writes without unnecessary bloat.

    Completeness3/5

    The set covers creating accounts and transactions and retrieving key data, but lacks update/delete operations for accounts and transactions, which are notable gaps for full lifecycle management.
