Scored across 5 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: site metadata, jobs-board aggregate stats, jobs search, textbook search, and textbook chapter reading. The closest pair, finance_internships_overview and search_finance_internships, is well separated by aggregate summary versus filtered listings.
All names use snake_case and are readable, with search_finance_internships/search_textbook and read_textbook_chapter following a verb-first pattern. However, finance_internships_overview and about_sifter are noun phrases without verbs, creating a minor inconsistency.
Five tools is well-scoped for a niche server covering a jobs board and a textbook. Each tool earns its place, with no redundant or trivial entries.
The surface covers the main workflows: learning about Sifter, browsing aggregate jobs data, searching internships, searching textbook chapters, and reading full chapters. A direct job-detail tool is missing, but search results include application links and point users to the full external board.
