TDQS

B3.4/5.0

Scored across 13 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have distinct purposes, but there is some overlap between add_text_box and update_text that could cause confusion. add_text_box creates a new text box with content, while update_text modifies existing text in a shape, but both involve text manipulation on slides. Other tools like create_presentation, open_presentation, and close_presentation are clearly differentiated.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case, such as add_slide, get_slides, and save_presentation. The naming is predictable and uniform throughout the set, making it easy for agents to understand the action and target.

Tool Count5/5

With 13 tools, the server is well-scoped for PowerPoint operations, covering presentation lifecycle, slide management, and text editing. Each tool serves a clear purpose without redundancy, and the count is appropriate for the domain, allowing comprehensive control without being overwhelming.

Completeness4/5

The tool set provides strong coverage for core PowerPoint tasks, including CRUD operations for presentations and slides, and text manipulation. However, there are minor gaps, such as missing tools for adding images, shapes, or charts, and no direct way to delete slides or shapes, which agents might need to work around.
