A4.2/5.0

Scored across 6 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool maps to a distinct action: raw transcript retrieval, summarization, caption-track listing, video/playlist discovery, and credit inspection. The only adjacent pair (get_transcript vs summarize_video) is separated by output type and cost (1 vs 2 credits) in the descriptions. search_youtube vs list_playlist_videos is also clearly split between keyword discovery and playlist/channel enumeration.

Naming Consistency5/5

All six tools follow a snake_case verb_noun pattern (get_transcript, get_usage, list_languages, list_playlist_videos, search_youtube, summarize_video). Verbs are used accurately and consistently: get for direct retrieval, list for enumeration, search for discovery, summarize for derivation.

Tool Count5/5

Six tools is tightly scoped to a YouTube transcript/summary service, with no filler or near-duplicates. Discovery, retrieval, summarization, and account-status each earn their place.

Completeness4/5

The surface covers the core workflow end to end: find videos (search/playlist), check available captions, fetch the transcript, and summarize, plus credit visibility. Minor gaps exist, such as no batch transcript fetch for a playlist and no direct video-metadata or caption-download-only endpoint, but agents can compose the existing tools to work around these.
