A3.5/5.0

Scored across 6 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Four get_* tools each target a clearly distinct resource (article, hadith, narrator, verse) with unambiguous identifier schemes described. The only mild overlap is between `search` (cross-entity lookup) and `list_articles` (browsing published articles), but the descriptions make the boundary clear enough.

Naming Consistency4/5

Predictable get_<resource> pattern for the four lookup tools plus list_articles, all snake_case. Only `search` deviates by omitting a noun, but it reads naturally as a cross-entity operation.

Tool Count4/5

Six tools is a lean, well-scoped set for a read-only Arabic Islamic encyclopedia: one lookup per content type plus discovery via list and search. Slightly thin — no separate tafsir or hadith-collection tool — but nothing redundant.

Completeness4/5

Each of the four domain entities (article, hadith, narrator, verse) has a get operation, and search plus list_articles provide discovery, so core lookup workflows are covered. Gaps remain for enumeration (listing hadiths of a book, verses of a surah, or all narrators), which agents must work around via search.
