Sidecar

There are overlapping tool pairs: advanced_search vs resolve_asset_id (both find assets), calculate_downstream_impact vs inspect_lineage_details (both trace lineage), and describe_asset vs resolve_asset_id (both provide details). While descriptions help clarify distinct use cases, an agent could still be confused about which to call, especially for lineage and asset retrieval.

Nine of ten tools follow a verb_noun pattern (e.g., get_catalog_overview, describe_asset). The exception is 'advanced_search', which uses an adjective instead of a verb, breaking the pattern. This minor inconsistency does not significantly impair usability.

With 10 tools, the server is well-scoped for a data catalog. Each tool serves a distinct purpose in searching, describing, and analyzing data assets and lineage, without being overly numerous or sparse.

The tool set covers core catalog operations: asset search, lookup, detailed descriptions, lineage tracking, downstream impact analysis, and knowledge base access. Minor gaps exist, such as the lack of a full asset listing tool and absence of knowledge base search within files, but these are not critical for typical workflows.
