TDQS

A3.6/5.0

Scored across 3 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose targeting different content types: images, news articles, and general web results. The descriptions explicitly differentiate their domains (visual content, current events, general information), leaving no ambiguity about which tool to use for a given search intent.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a perfect verb_noun pattern with 'bing_' prefix and consistent snake_case: bing_image_search, bing_news_search, bing_web_search. The naming convention is predictable and uniform throughout the tool set.

Tool Count4/5

Three tools is reasonable for a search-focused server, covering major content types. However, it feels slightly thin as other search modalities like video, academic, or local search could be relevant additions, but the core coverage is adequate.

Completeness4/5

The server provides solid coverage for web, image, and news search—key functionalities for a Bing integration. Minor gaps exist, such as missing video search or advanced filtering options, but agents can effectively perform most common search tasks with the available tools.
