TDQS
Scored across 3 tools
Each tool targets a distinct operation: create, query (list/search), and update. There is no overlap in purpose; an agent can clearly differentiate when to use each.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case (create_incident, query_incidents, update_incident), with plural nouns for collection queries and singular for single-item operations, which is predictable.
With 3 tools, the set is minimal but covers the core incident lifecycle (create, read/search, update). It is slightly thin—missing a dedicated get_incident or delete_incident—but still well-scoped for a focused incident-only server.
The tools cover create, list/search, and update, but lack an explicit 'get by ID' tool (though query_incidents can filter by number) and a delete/close operation. The update tool warns about missing resolution fields for closing, indicating gaps in full lifecycle support.
