TDQS

B3.2/5.0

Scored across 2 tools

Disambiguation5/5

The two tools have completely distinct purposes with no overlap. 'generate_gitignore' creates a file based on templates, while 'list_gitignore_templates' provides the available template list. An agent would never confuse these tools as they serve different stages of the workflow.

Naming Consistency5/5

Both tools follow a perfect verb_noun pattern with consistent snake_case naming. 'generate_gitignore' and 'list_gitignore_templates' use clear, descriptive verbs that match their actions, creating a predictable naming convention throughout the tool set.

Tool Count2/5

With only 2 tools, this server feels under-scoped for a gitignore management system. While the tools cover basic functionality, there are obvious missing operations like updating existing gitignore files, deleting them, or managing custom templates that would make the surface more complete.

Completeness3/5

The tools provide core read and generate functionality but lack full lifecycle coverage. There's no way to update or delete generated gitignore files, and while templates can be listed, there's no ability to manage them. The surface covers basic workflows but leaves significant gaps for more complex scenarios.
