TDQS
Scored across 7 tools
Each tool targets a distinct resource or action: projects (list/create) vs activities (create/list/move/update/delete). No two tools have overlapping purposes, and descriptions clearly differentiate them.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern where listing uses plural nouns (list_projects, list_activities) and other actions use singular nouns (create_project, create_activity, move_activity, update_activity, delete_activity).
With 7 tools, the server covers the essential operations for GitHub Projects v2 board management without being bloated or minimal. Each tool serves a clear and necessary purpose.
Core CRUD on activities is mostly covered, but missing operations like updating or deleting a project are notable omissions. There is no tool to retrieve a single activity by ID, though list_activities with filters partially compensates.
