    TDQS

    B3/5.0

    Scored across 3 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool targets a distinct action: adding, listing, and searching notes. No overlap in purpose.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case (add_note, list_notes, search_notes).

    Tool Count3/5

    Three tools is on the low side for a note-taking server, but it covers basic operations. Could be considered minimal but not extreme.

    Completeness2/5

    Missing update and delete operations, which are standard for notes. The tool surface is incomplete for full lifecycle management.
