TDQS
Scored across 3 tools
Each tool targets a distinct output: watch URL, thumbnail URL, and normalized URL. Inputs differ (video ID vs. URL), so there is no overlap or ambiguity.
All tools follow a consistent get_ verb_noun pattern, clearly indicating the returned resource. The naming convention is uniform and predictable.
The server is narrowly scoped to YouTube URL helpers, and 3 tools is an appropriate size for this purpose. Each tool earns its place without redundancy.
The server covers the core operations for URL generation, thumbnails, and normalization. The get_normalized_url tool effectively handles URL parsing and standardization, leaving no obvious missing functionality.
