TDQS

A4.1/5.0

Scored across 4 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: searching, retrieving file attributes, checking version, and checking service status. There is no overlap between them, so an agent can easily select the right one.

Naming Consistency4/5

All tools share the 'everything_' prefix and use snake_case, but the second part mixes nouns (file_info, version, status) and a verb (search). This is a minor deviation from a strict verb_noun pattern but remains predictable and readable.

Tool Count5/5

With 4 tools, the server is well-scoped for interacting with the Everything search engine. Each tool covers a necessary aspect without redundancy or bloat.

Completeness4/5

The tool surface covers the core functionality: searching, getting file metadata, and checking the engine's operational state. Minor gaps like advanced query analysis or database statistics exist but are not essential for basic usage.
