TDQS
Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a distinct purpose: retrieving a specific failure mode by ID, listing all categories, listing modes with optional filtering, and searching by symptom text. There is no functional overlap between them.
All tool names use consistent snake_case with a verb_noun pattern (get_failure_mode, list_categories, list_modes, search_failure_modes), and the naming clearly indicates each tool's action and target entity.
With 4 tools covering listing, retrieval, and search for a read-only taxonomy, the count is appropriate. It is neither too minimal nor excessive for the scope.
The tool set provides comprehensive coverage for a read-only failure mode taxonomy: full listing of categories, listing of modes (optionally by category), retrieval of a single mode, and keyword search. No obvious gaps for the intended use case.
