Scored across 14 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose targeting specific file operations or metadata retrieval in Seafile. There is no overlap; for example, seafile_copy vs seafile_move, seafile_upload_file vs seafile_write_file, and seafile_read_file vs seafile_get_download_link all serve different functions with clear boundaries described in their documentation.
All tools follow a consistent 'seafile_verb_noun' pattern with snake_case throughout, such as seafile_list_directory, seafile_create_directory, and seafile_get_file_info. This uniformity makes the tool set predictable and easy to navigate for an agent.
With 14 tools, this server is well-scoped for managing a Seafile file storage system. It covers essential operations like CRUD for files and directories, metadata access, search, and upload/download, which is appropriate for the domain without being overly sparse or bloated.
The tool set provides comprehensive coverage for file management in Seafile, including create, read, update, delete, copy, move, rename, list, search, and metadata retrieval. There are no obvious gaps; it supports full lifecycle operations for files and directories, ensuring agents can handle typical workflows without dead ends.
