TDQS

A3.9/5.0

Scored across 2 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: uniprot_fetch retrieves specific entries by IDs, while uniprot_search performs complex queries. There is no overlap in functionality.

Naming Consistency5/5

Both tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case (uniprot_fetch, uniprot_search), making them predictable and easy to understand.

Tool Count3/5

With only 2 tools, the server is very thin for the vast UniProt domain. While fetch and search are core operations, the lack of other tools (e.g., for updates or batch operations) makes it feel limited.

Completeness3/5

The server covers basic retrieval operations (fetch by ID and search) but lacks any write or update functionality. For a read-only interface this might be acceptable, but tools for batch processing or data submission are missing.
