    A3.5/5.0

    Scored across 1 tool

    Disambiguation5/5

    With only one tool, there is no possibility of ambiguity or overlap between tools. The tool 'search-web' has a clear, distinct purpose focused on web searching.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    Since there is only one tool, naming consistency is inherently perfect. The tool name 'search-web' follows a clear verb-noun pattern and is straightforward.

    Tool Count2/5

    A single tool is too few for most server purposes, as it severely limits functionality and scope. This feels thin and incomplete for a search-oriented server, lacking operations like filtering, advanced queries, or result management.

    Completeness2/5

    The server has a significant gap in its tool surface; it only provides search functionality without any way to refine, save, or manage results. For a search domain, this is incomplete and will likely cause agent failures in complex tasks.
