TDQS

A3.9/5.0

Scored across 1 tool

Disambiguation5/5

With only one tool, there is no possibility of confusion or overlap between tools. The single 'search' tool has a clearly defined and distinct purpose.

Naming Consistency5/5

A single tool inherently has perfect naming consistency. The tool name 'search' follows a simple verb pattern appropriate for its function.

Tool Count2/5

A single tool is too few for most server purposes, making the server feel thin and limited in scope. While it matches the DuckDuckGo search functionality, a more comprehensive web search server might include additional tools like image search, news search, or autocomplete.

Completeness3/5

For a basic web search server, the single 'search' tool covers the core functionality adequately. However, there are notable gaps such as no image search, news search, or autocomplete features, which are common in search APIs, limiting the server's completeness.
