Scored across 38 tools
Most tools have clearly distinct purposes and the descriptions actively steer callers (e.g., 'use zotero_semantic_search instead'). However, several search tools (search_items, advanced_search, search_by_tag, search_by_citation_key) and metadata-editing tools (update_item vs batch_update) have overlapping surfaces that could still cause misselection.
All tools use a consistent snake_case zotero_ prefix, overwhelmingly following a verb_noun pattern (get_annotations, create_collection, search_items, etc.). Minor noun-phrase names like advanced_search and write_capabilities are still predictable and stylistically consistent.
At 38 tools, the set exceeds the 25+ threshold for being too many, and several tools could be consolidated (multiple search variants, separate note/annotation getters, separate item/collection setters). While Zotero is a broad domain, the surface is heavy enough to burden an agent's selection process.
Core CRUD coverage for items, collections, notes, annotations, attachments, and search is strong, but the tool descriptions repeatedly reference zotero_semantic_search and zotero_update_search_database, which are absent from the set. This creates notable dead ends for topic discovery and indexing workflows.
