    Scored across 1 tool

    Disambiguation5/5

    With only one tool, there is no possibility of confusion between tools. The tool's purpose is clear: execute GraphQL queries or mutations.

    Naming Consistency4/5

    The single tool name 'graphql' is not a verb_noun pattern, but there is no inconsistency to penalize. It is readable and directly reflects the tool's function.

    Tool Count4/5

    One tool feels thin compared to a typical MCP server, but for a generic GraphQL executor, a single tool can be sufficient. It is slightly under the standard range but reasonable.

    Completeness5/5

    The tool can execute any GraphQL query or mutation, including introspection, covering the full domain of GraphQL operations. There are no obvious gaps for the server's stated purpose.
