TDQS
Scored across 6 tools
Each tool targets a distinct analytical view (overview, commits, PRs, contributors, releases, issues). Minor overlap exists: commit_activity reports top authors while contributor_stats ranks contributors, and repo_overview includes issue counts while issue_backlog details issues, but descriptions clarify boundaries.
All tools use consistent snake_case noun phrases with descriptive, predictable names. No mixing of conventions or vague verbs.
6 tools is well-scoped for a read-only analytics server; each covers a distinct facet of repository insights without redundancy.
Covers core repository, commit, PR, contributor, release, and issue insights. Missing more general PR activity/review metrics and issue activity trends, but the surface is sufficient for common insight queries.
