Scored across 2 tools
The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: one extracts text content, the other returns metadata and page information. An agent can easily decide which to use based on whether it needs the actual text or just information about the PDF.
Both names share the `pdf_` prefix, which gives a clear domain grouping. However, `pdf_extract_text` follows a verb_noun pattern while `pdf_info` is noun-only, so the action convention is not perfectly consistent.
With only two tools, the set is quite thin for a PDF handling server. While the narrow purpose may justify minimalism, the count is borderline and leaves little room for common adjacent operations.
The server covers the core read-only lifecycle: inspect a PDF and extract its text page by page. Minor gaps exist, such as no OCR for scanned PDFs (explicitly excluded) and no broader file-source support, but these are reasonable limitations for the stated purpose.
