TDQS

A3.5/5.0

Scored across 3 tools

Disambiguation3/5

The tools are mostly distinct: one returns raw transcript, another adds metadata, and the third saves to a file. However, get_transcript and get_transcript_with_metadata overlap heavily since the latter is a superset, which could cause an agent to pick the wrong one for a simple transcript request.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case: get_transcript, get_transcript_with_metadata, save_transcript. The naming clearly indicates the action and target, with no mixed conventions or vague verbs.

Tool Count5/5

Three tools is well-scoped for a server dedicated to YouTube transcript extraction. Each tool serves a clear purpose—basic retrieval, retrieval with metadata, and saving to file—without unnecessary bloat.

Completeness4/5

The core workflow of extracting and saving transcripts is covered. Minor gaps exist such as language selection, timestamped segments, or listing available transcript tracks, but these are extensions rather than fundamental missing pieces for the stated purpose.
