Scored across 6 tools
Each tool targets a clearly distinct purpose: list_books/list_subjects are discovery, get_chapter/get_verse differ by granularity, and browse_subject/get_plan split listing vs. detail. The chapter-vs-verse and book-vs-subject boundaries are unambiguous.
All six tools follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern (list_books, list_subjects, get_chapter, get_verse, get_plan, browse_subject). No mixing of conventions or vague verbs.
Six tools are well-scoped for a read-only Bible study corpus, covering discovery, text retrieval, and study plans without redundancy. Each tool earns its place.
Coverage includes discovery (books, subjects), text retrieval (chapter, verse), and study-plan browsing, which suits a read-only scripture API. A keyword/full-text search across verses would round it out, but browse_subject topic tags partially fill that gap.
Available Tools
6 toolsbrowse_subjectBrowse a subjectInspect
List study plans and articles for a subject or topic. Pass a subject code from list_subjects (for example "parsha", "holidays", "tehillim", "stories"), or any topic tag (for example "jonah", "purim", "psalm 23"). Results are paginated; pass the returned cursor to get more.
