TDQS

A4.4/5.0

Scored across 5 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clear, distinct purpose: search for advertisers, get profile overview, list all ads, get specific ad details, and compare across regions. There is no overlap or ambiguity.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., compare_ad_presence, get_advertiser_profile). The verbs are predictable (search, get, compare) and the nouns precisely indicate the resource.

Tool Count5/5

With 5 tools, the set is well-scoped for the domain of Google Ads Transparency. Each tool covers a discrete aspect of the workflow without being overly granular or sparse.

Completeness4/5

The tools cover the essential operations: search, profile, ads list, ad details, and regional comparison. Minor gaps exist, such as lacking a tool to filter ads by region (the compare tool returns counts only) or to retrieve ads by date range, but the core functionality is solid.
