TDQS

A3.5/5.0

Scored across 5 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no overlap: add_task creates tasks, create_board creates boards, get_board_content retrieves board details, list_boards lists boards, and move_task moves tasks between columns. An agent can easily distinguish between these operations without confusion.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (e.g., add_task, create_board, get_board_content). The naming is uniform and predictable, using snake_case throughout without any deviations or mixed conventions.

Tool Count5/5

With 5 tools, this server is well-scoped for managing Kanban boards in Obsidian. Each tool serves a clear and necessary function (creating/listing boards, adding/moving tasks, retrieving content), making the count appropriate and efficient for the domain.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers core Kanban operations well, including board creation, listing, content retrieval, and task management (add/move). A minor gap exists in task deletion or board deletion/update, but agents can likely work around this for basic workflows without significant failures.
