Scored across 7 tools
Each tool targets a distinct resource and action: blog posts have list/get, opportunities have query/get, themes have list-trending/get, and get_overview provides the global map. The only potential overlap is get_theme vs list_trending_themes, but one returns a single theme's detail while the other returns a ranked list of heating themes.
All tools follow a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern: get_blog_post, get_opportunity, get_overview, get_theme, list_blog_posts, list_trending_themes, query_opportunities. The use of 'query' instead of 'list' for opportunities is a minor stylistic variation but still fits the pattern.
Seven tools is well-scoped for a market-intelligence server covering overviews, themes, opportunities, and blog posts. Each tool earns its place without redundancy or bloat.
The read-only surface is well covered: blog posts support list and get, opportunities support query and get-detail, and themes support trending-list and get-detail. A minor gap is the lack of a non-trending list-all-themes endpoint, though get_overview partially compensates by showing all domain categories and theme counts.
