TDQS
Scored across 16 tools
Each tool targets a distinct resource and action: instance management, memo CRUD, tags, shortcuts, and attachments are clearly separated. Even the list_* tools are unambiguous because the resource type is explicit in each name.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern, such as list_memos, create_memo, update_shortcut, and upload_attachment. The only slight deviation is get_memo instead of list_memo, but this is still consistent with standard CRUD naming.
With 16 tools, the set is slightly above the ideal 3-15 range but still well-scoped for a server covering instances, memos, tags, shortcuts, and attachments. Each tool covers a needed operation, so the count feels justified rather than bloated.
Core memo lifecycle, instance management, shortcut CRUD, and attachment operations are well covered. Minor gaps exist, such as no attachment download/retrieval endpoint and no single get_shortcut operation, but agents can mostly work around these using list operations.
