TDQS
Scored across 3 tools
Each tool targets a clearly distinct data type: single stock quote, market indices, and historical stock data. There is no overlap in purpose or returned data.
All tool names follow a consistent 'yahoo_' prefix followed by a descriptive noun phrase (stock_quote, market_data, stock_history), making the naming pattern predictable and uniform.
With only 3 tools, the server is on the thinner side, but each tool covers a core financial data need (current price, market overview, historical data). It is slightly under-scoped but reasonable for a focused finance data server.
The tools cover current quotes, market indices, and historical data, but miss common Yahoo Finance features like symbol search, foreign exchange, crypto, or options data. These gaps may require agents to work around missing functionality.
