TDQS

A4.3/5.0

Scored across 5 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no overlap: get_cheaha_quick_start provides cluster-specific onboarding, get_documentation_page retrieves full page content, get_support_info offers contact details, list_documentation_sections shows the documentation structure, and search_documentation enables content discovery. The descriptions reinforce these distinct roles, making tool selection unambiguous for an agent.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (get_, list_, search_) with clear, descriptive names that align with their functions. The naming convention is uniform across all five tools, using snake_case consistently without any deviations or mixed styles, making the set predictable and easy to navigate.

Tool Count5/5

With 5 tools, this server is well-scoped for its documentation-focused purpose, covering key user needs: onboarding (get_cheaha_quick_start), navigation (list_documentation_sections, search_documentation), content access (get_documentation_page), and support (get_support_info). Each tool earns its place without redundancy, and the count is neither too thin nor overwhelming for the domain.

Completeness5/5

The tool surface provides complete coverage for a documentation server, addressing the full user journey: discovering documentation (search, list), accessing content (get page), getting started (quick start), and seeking help (support info). There are no obvious gaps—agents can effectively browse, retrieve, and navigate the documentation without dead ends or missing operations.
