TDQS
Scored across 5 tools
Each tool serves a distinct function: searching by topic, retrieving full text, fetching metadata, getting parallels, and listing divisions. There is no overlap in purpose, and descriptions make it easy to select the right tool.
All tools follow a clear verb_noun pattern: search_topic, get_sutta, get_sutta_meta, get_parallels, list_divisions. The convention is consistent across the set.
With 5 tools covering search, retrieval, metadata, parallels, and divisions, the set is well-scoped for a SuttaCentral access server. Each tool serves a clear need within the domain.
The core workflows (search, read, metadata, parallels, divisions) are covered. A minor gap is the lack of a direct way to list suttas within a division, but search_topic can compensate, so no major dead ends.
