TDQS
Scored across 5 tools
Each tool has a distinct primary purpose except for the search functionality in 'play' which overlaps with 'search'. However, descriptions clarify that 'search' is for discovering content while 'play' is for direct playback, so agents can distinguish with care.
Tool names are lowercase single words but mix verbs (search, play), nouns (library), and compounds (tv_control, playback_status). They lack a uniform pattern like verb_noun, though they are readable and understandable.
With 5 tools covering search, playback, library management, TV control, and playback status, the set is well-scoped for a media center MCP server. Each tool earns its place without redundancy.
The tool surface covers the core lifecycle: search, play, library CRUD, full TV control, and status monitoring. Minor gaps like missing favorites management or subtitle control exist but do not hinder typical agent workflows.
