Scored across 3 tools
Each tool targets a distinct stage of the Wikipedia read workflow: wiki_search locates pages, wiki_summary gives the lead paragraph, and wiki_article returns full paginated text. Descriptions explicitly state use-cases ('find the right page', 'quick overview', 'details beyond the summary'), leaving no realistic overlap.
All three tools use the same snake_case pattern with a shared 'wiki_' prefix followed by a noun (article, search, summary). The convention is uniform and instantly readable.
Three tools is a tight, well-scoped set for a read-only Wikipedia reader, with no redundant entries. It sits at the low end, so richer operations (sections, links, batch retrieval) are absent, but nothing feels padded.
The search → summary → full-text chain covers the core read lifecycle, and pagination via 'start'/'max_chars' avoids truncation dead ends. Minor gaps exist (no section listing, related-links, or multi-page batch fetch), but agents can work around them.
