TDQS
Scored across 1 tool
Only one tool exists, so there is no possibility of confusion between tools.
The single tool follows a clear verb_noun pattern (search_web), and there are no other tools to create inconsistency.
One tool is on the low end for a typical server, but it is focused on a single search operation, making it borderline appropriate.
The server covers the basic search use case, but lacks additional search types or configuration options that might be expected from a full SearXNG integration.
