Scored across 5 tools
Each tool targets a distinct resource type: guides, library works, magazine pieces, feeds, and library search. There is no meaningful overlap between the getters, the search, and the feed listing.
The tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern: get_ for singular resources, search_ and list_ for discovery surfaces. All names are snake_case and clearly indicate their action and target.
Five tools is well-scoped for a read-only content server covering guides, library records, magazine pieces, and feed metadata. Each tool has a clear purpose and none feel redundant.
The read surface is largely complete for a content-serving domain: guides, library works, and magazine pieces each have getters, and library works are discoverable via search. The main gap is the lack of list/discovery tools for guides and magazine pieces beyond known slugs.
