TDQS
Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a completely distinct purpose: greeting, echoing, retrieving time, and adding numbers. There is no overlap or ambiguity in what an agent should call.
All names are lowercase snake_case and use a verb-first style, but 'echo' and 'add' are bare verbs while 'say_hello' and 'get_server_time' have object/adjective complements. This is a minor inconsistency, not a confusing mix.
Four tools is an appropriate, well-scoped count for a small hello/utility MCP server. Each tool is independently useful and the count is firmly within the ideal range.
The set covers its obvious standalone capabilities fully—greetings, echoes, time, and arithmentic are all self-contained. The only minor gap is that it is not a fully powered calculator and has no broader domain expectations, but nothing needed seems missing.
