TDQS
Scored across 3 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: create_task for creating new tasks, list_active_tasks for retrieving current tasks, and list_completed_tasks for viewing past tasks. There is no overlap in functionality, making it easy for an agent to select the right tool.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (create_task, list_active_tasks, list_completed_tasks) with clear and descriptive naming. There are no deviations in style or convention.
With only 3 tools, the set feels too thin for a comprehensive Todoist integration. Key operations like updating tasks, deleting tasks, managing projects, or marking tasks as complete are missing, limiting the server's utility for full task management workflows.
The tool set is severely incomplete for a Todoist server. While it covers creation and listing (active and completed), it lacks essential CRUD operations such as update_task, delete_task, and complete_task, as well as project and label management tools, creating significant gaps that will hinder agent performance.
