Tool DescriptionsA

Average 4.1/5 across 8 of 8 tools scored. Lowest: 3.1/5.

Server CoherenceA
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct search modality (web, image, video, news, local, places) or processing step (summarizer, LLM context). Descriptions clearly differentiate purposes and chaining dependencies are explicitly noted.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent `brave_<descriptive_suffix>` pattern using snake_case. The suffixes are specific to the operation (e.g., `image_search`, `llm_context`, `local_search`), making the purpose clear and predictably structured.

Tool Count5/5

With 8 tools, the count is well-scoped for a search API covering multiple media types and AI enhancements. Each tool serves a distinct purpose without redundancy or unnecessary expansion.

Completeness4/5

The set covers all major search modalities and adds AI-oriented tools (summarizer, LLM context). Minor gaps exist (e.g., no direct location-to-POI search without a two-step flow), but the documented chaining addresses these adequately.
