TDQS
Scored across 5 tools
Each tool targets a distinct function: statistics computation, patient finding, metadata retrieval, protocol search, and publication search. There is no overlap in purposes.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern (compute_, find_, get_, search_, search_), making naming predictable and clear.
With 5 tools, the server is well-scoped for a research demo, covering essential tasks without being overwhelming or sparse.
The tool set covers core research needs: patient cohort exploration, statistics, metadata, and literature/protocol search. No obvious gaps for the stated demo purpose.
