TDQS

A3.6/5.0

Scored across 24 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Most tools are clearly distinct by resource (folders vs. notes) and action, but some overlap exists: notes.search and notes.index_search both handle search, though one uses Apple's native search and the other a local index, which could cause confusion. Similarly, notes.append_text and notes.update both allow appending text, though update offers more flexibility.

Naming Consistency5/5

Tool names follow a highly consistent verb_noun pattern with dot notation for grouping (e.g., folders.contents, notes.create). All tools use snake_case consistently, and verbs like 'list', 'get', 'create', 'update', 'delete' are applied predictably across resources.

Tool Count3/5

With 24 tools, the count is on the high side for a notes management server, bordering on heavy. While it covers many operations, some tools like notes.index_build, notes.index_search, and notes.index_status for local indexing might be overkill for typical note-taking workflows, suggesting potential scope creep.

Completeness5/5

The tool set provides comprehensive CRUD and lifecycle coverage for Apple Notes, including folder management, note creation, reading, updating, deleting, moving, searching, and formatting. It also includes advanced features like checklists, links, templates, and server controls, leaving no obvious gaps for the domain.
