TDQS
Scored across 13 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: search vs. list vs. get for different content types (thinkers, articles, glossary, syntheses), plus a general full-text search and corpus stats. No two tools have ambiguous boundaries.
Tool names mix Portuguese and English ('buscar_pensador' vs 'search_artigos', 'get_artigo' vs 'listar_artigos'), use different verb prefixes ('get_', 'listar_', 'search_', 'buscar_'), and one tool uses snake_case English ('corpus_stats'). This inconsistency makes it hard to predict tool names.
13 tools cover the main content types (articles, thinkers, glossary, syntheses) with search, list, and retrieval operations, plus a stats tool. The count is well-scoped for a philosophy reference server; each tool earns its place.
The tool surface provides full read-only access to the philosophy corpus: search across all sections, retrieve individual items, list all items, and get corpus statistics. No obvious gaps for the intended purpose of referencing philosophical content.
