TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

The two tools have perfectly distinct purposes: one targets trending developers, the other trending repositories. There is no overlap in functionality, and an agent can easily differentiate between them based on the clear resource distinction.

Naming Consistency5/5

Both tools follow an identical verb_noun pattern with 'get_github_trending_' prefix, ensuring complete predictability. The naming is highly consistent and readable, with no deviations in style or structure.

Tool Count2/5

With only 2 tools, the server feels thin for its apparent scope of 'github-trending'. While it covers two key resources, the lack of filtering, sorting, or time-range options limits utility, making the count borderline insufficient for robust trending analysis.

Completeness3/5

The server provides basic access to trending developers and repositories, but there are notable gaps. Missing operations include filtering by language, location, or time period, and there is no way to get historical trending data or detailed analytics, which are common needs in this domain.
