TDQS
Scored across 24 tools
Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no ambiguity. Each tool targets a specific browser interaction (click, navigate, screenshot, etc.) or management task (install, close, resize), and descriptions clarify any potential overlaps (e.g., browser_snapshot vs. browser_take_screenshot).
Tool names follow a highly consistent 'browser_verb_noun' pattern throughout (e.g., browser_click, browser_navigate, browser_tab_list). All tools use snake_case with 'browser_' prefix, making them predictable and readable.
With 24 tools, the count is slightly high but reasonable for a comprehensive web automation server. It covers a wide range of interactions (navigation, input, tabs, debugging) without obvious bloat, though it borders on the upper limit of typical scoping.
The toolset provides complete coverage for web automation and testing. It includes core navigation, user interactions (click, type, drag), tab management, debugging (console, network), media capture (screenshot, snapshot), and utilities (wait, install), leaving no obvious gaps for the domain.
