TDQS

B3.3/5.0

Scored across 2 tools

Disambiguation5/5

The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: search_files searches across files for terms, while show_file_words displays indexed content and metadata for a specific file. There is no overlap or ambiguity between them.

Naming Consistency5/5

Both tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case: search_files and show_file_words. The naming is predictable and readable throughout.

Tool Count2/5

With only 2 tools, the server feels thin for its apparent scope of file search and metadata display. A typical search system might include additional operations like listing indexed files, updating indexes, or filtering results, making this set under-scoped.

Completeness2/5

Inferring the domain as file search and indexing, there are significant gaps: no tools for managing the index (e.g., refresh, status), listing available files or properties, or performing advanced queries beyond basic search. This limits agent workflows and could lead to dead ends.
