TDQS

A4.2/5.0

Scored across 4 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: file_info for specific file attributes, search for complex queries, status for service health, and version for engine version. No overlap.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow the consistent pattern 'everything_<verb_or_noun>', using snake_case with clear verb/noun (info, search, status, version).

Tool Count5/5

4 tools cover the core operations (search, file info, status, version) without being too few or too many for a search engine wrapper.

Completeness4/5

The set covers primary use cases: search, file details, service status, and version. Missing index management tools (e.g., update index) but those are advanced features.
