TDQS
Scored across 15 tools
Each tool has a distinct action/resource: status, per-type search/get, cross-catalogue search/recommend/trending, install/use helpers, and categories. The aggregate tools (search_all, recommend, trending) overlap in breadth but are differentiated by intent and description, so misselection is unlikely.
All tools use the aura_ prefix and snake_case, with clear noun/verb components. Most follow verb_noun (search_components, get_skill, install_component), but a few are noun-only (status, trending, categories), a minor deviation.
15 tools cover four resource types plus discovery, recommendation, installation, and usage helpers. This is at the upper end of the ideal 3–15 range but each tool maps to a distinct workflow step, so no filler is apparent.
The surface supports discovery, retrieval, recommendation, installation, and application across components, skills, and design systems. Assets only have search (no get/install detail), and there is no generic asset download/apply tool, a minor gap for a read-only catalogue.
