TDQS
Scored across 12 tools
Each tool targets a distinct operation: creating channels, sending messages to channels or DMs, sending files, retrieving and searching messages, user info, listing rooms and users, and deleting messages. There is no overlapping functionality; even the two send message tools are clearly differentiated by target (channel vs DM).
Most tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (e.g., create_channel, delete_message, send_direct_message). The exception is 'get_unread', which is less descriptive and deviates from the pattern (could be 'get_unread_rooms'). Otherwise, naming is predictable and clear.
With 12 tools, the set is well-scoped for a chat server. It covers essential operations without being overwhelming. The count falls within the ideal range and each tool serves a clear purpose.
The tool surface covers core CRUD operations for messages and channels, plus user info and file sharing. Minor gaps exist: no tool for editing or deleting channels, no message editing, and no channel metadata retrieval. These are not critical but would enhance completeness.
