TDQS
Scored across 28 tools
Each tool has a clear, distinct purpose targeting a specific Trello resource and action. No two tools overlap in functionality; e.g., add_card_attachment and add_card_url_attachment are differentiated by file vs URL attachment.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (e.g., create_board, get_card, add_checklist_item). The naming convention is uniform and predictable.
28 tools is on the higher side but still reasonable for a comprehensive Trello server covering boards, lists, cards, checklists, labels, attachments, comments, and history. It is slightly above the 'heavy' threshold but not excessive given the domain complexity.
Significant gaps exist: missing delete_card (only archive), delete/update for lists, update/delete for checklists, update/delete for labels, and update_board. These absences will likely cause agent failures in common workflows.
