TDQS
Scored across 1 tool
Only one tool exists, so there is no ambiguity. The agent will always select the correct tool.
With a single tool named 'transcribe_audio', the naming is trivially consistent and follows a clear verb_noun pattern.
One tool is appropriate for a single-purpose transcription server, though the typical range for well-scoped servers is 3-15 tools. It is slightly below that range but not unreasonable.
The server's sole purpose is audio transcription, and the tool fully covers that operation with support for various formats and error handling. No additional capabilities are necessary.
