TDQS

A3.8/5.0

Scored across 2 tools

Disambiguation5/5

The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: one searches for documentation resources, the other retrieves the content. There is no functional overlap.

Naming Consistency5/5

Both tool names follow a consistent camelCase verb-noun pattern (searchPatternFlyDocs, usePatternFlyDocs), making them predictable and easy to distinguish.

Tool Count3/5

With only two tools, the server feels minimal for a full documentation surface. While it covers search and retrieval, additional tools like listing categories or listing all components would better match the apparent scope.

Completeness4/5

The server covers the basic query-retrieve cycle for PatternFly documentation. The search tool supports wildcards to effectively list all components, so the main gap is the lack of a direct 'list all' tool, but it's a minor shortcoming.
