TDQS
Scored across 13 tools
Each tool targets a distinct search vertical (web, images, news, etc.) as indicated by the tool name, making them clearly distinguishable. The identical descriptions are a minor issue but do not cause ambiguity because the names are self-explanatory.
All search tools follow a consistent 'google_search_<type>' pattern, but 'webpage_scrape' breaks this pattern with a different verb and structure, causing a slight inconsistency.
13 tools is well within the recommended 3-15 range and covers the major Google search verticals plus scraping, which fits the server's purpose without being excessive.
The tool set covers most common search types (web, images, news, maps, etc.) and includes scraping. Minor omissions like books or finance searches exist but do not significantly hinder typical usage.
