TDQS
Scored across 6 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: search across entities, retrieve a table, fetch sample data, fetch owners, fetch columns, and list tables. While get_table_by_fqn may return columns as part of the entity, the specific getters are explicitly focused, so an agent can select based on need without confusion.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (get_* and search_*), use lowercase with underscores, and are uniformly structured. There are no mixed conventions or vague verbs.
With 6 tools, the server is well-scoped for a metadata browsing purpose. Each tool provides a distinct capability without redundancy or excessive granularity, fitting comfortably within the ideal range.
The server covers core table read operations (get, list, columns, owners, sample data) and a general entity search. However, it lacks direct retrieval for other metadata entities like databases, schemas, and tags, and has no create/update/delete operations, which are common in metadata management. This leaves notable gaps for a full OpenMetadata surface.
