TDQS
Scored across 11 tools
Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no ambiguity. The tools cover separate domains like publishing (create_post, get_publishing_post), analytics (get_post_analytics, get_profile_analytics), inbox management (get_messages), and listing resources (list_* functions). Descriptions explicitly differentiate similar tools, such as get_messages for inbound messages versus get_post_analytics for outbound metrics.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case throughout. The naming is highly predictable: 'create_post', 'get_messages', 'list_profiles', etc. There are no deviations in style or convention, making the set easy to navigate and understand at a glance.
With 11 tools, the count is well-scoped for a social media management server. Each tool earns its place by covering essential operations like publishing, analytics, and resource listing. This number is typical for such a domain (3-15 tools), providing comprehensive functionality without being overwhelming.
The tool surface is nearly complete for social media management, covering key areas like post creation, retrieval, analytics, and resource listing. Minor gaps exist, such as no update_post or delete_post tools for post lifecycle management, but agents can likely work around this by creating new posts or using existing tools for basic operations.
