Scored across 3 tools
Each tool targets a clearly distinct intent: recommendation discovery (find_similar_books), bibliography lookup (get_author_books), and single-book detail lookup (get_book). The descriptions make the boundaries explicit with concrete example queries, leaving little room for misselection.
All three names follow a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern: find_similar_books, get_author_books, get_book. The verbs are predictable and the nouns clearly identify the resource.
Three tools is on the lean side but each earns its place for a focused book-recommendation service. The surface is small yet coherent, though a little more coverage could make it feel less minimal.
The core workflow is covered: find books similar to a title or genre, list an author's works, and fetch a book's details including adaptation status. Minor gaps exist, such as no general keyword/search tool or series-level lookup, but agents can work around these using the provided tools.

3 toolsfind_similar_booksBooks like one the user enjoyed, or for a genreARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Books like one the user enjoyed, or for a genre. Needs title (a book the user liked) or subject (a genre or theme). For requests like "books like The Martian" or "a good cosy mystery". Suggestions are English-language books for the same readers (picture book, children, young adult or adult), one per author and one per series. Well-read books of the same kind come first (picked_from: shelf, and because names the kind, for example "celebrated dystopian novels"), then books sharing specific subjects on Open Library (picked_from: subjects, and because lists the shared subjects). Novels never get self-help, textbooks, anthologies, study guides, category romance lines or explicit books as suggestions, and popular books are preferred over obscure ones. Other books by the same author are left out unless same_author=true. Give title or subject; common other titles work (1984, The Sorcerer's Stone)
Inputs: title, author, country, subject, +1 more.
get_author_booksAn author's books, newest firstBRead-onlyIdempotentInspect
An author's books, newest first. For requests like "what has Andy Weir written?" or "Sally Rooney's books"
Inputs: author (required), country.
get_bookA book's details and any film or series made from itARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
A book's details and any film or series made from it. For requests like "tell me about Project Hail Mary", "is The Name of the Wind being made into a film?", "how long is Dune?". Misspellings are fine. If screen_checked is false, the film and TV check could not run just now, so the film and TV status is unknown.
Inputs: title (required), author, country.
