NASA data: near-Earth objects, space weather, and astronomy pictures
Scored across 3 tools
Each tool targets a completely distinct domain: astronomy pictures, asteroid data, and space weather events. There is no overlap in functionality or ambiguity between them.
All tool names follow a consistent 'get_' prefix with descriptive noun phrases (apod, near_earth_objects, space_weather). The naming pattern is uniform and predictable.
Only 3 tools is on the lower end for a data-providing server, but each tool provides access to a well-known NASA API. The count is reasonable for a focused purpose, though slightly thin.
The tools cover three major NASA data sets (APOD, NeoWs, DONKI), which are core to the server's stated purpose. Missing common APIs like Mars Rover photos or Earth imagery, but the set is functional and not severely incomplete.
