TDQS
Scored across 5 tools
Each tool targets a distinct operation: get by ID, list with optional formula, create, update, and substring search. Search and list have some overlap, but their purposes are clearly differentiated by descriptions.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case (get_record, list_records, create_record, update_record, search_records), making the set predictable.
Five tools is well-scoped for a focused Airtable CRUD-like server, covering core read and write operations without unnecessary bloat.
Missing delete_record is a notable gap in lifecycle coverage. Read (get/list/search), create, and update are present, but the inability to delete records limits full CRUD operations.
