Scored across 5 tools
Each tool corresponds to a distinct HTTP method (DELETE, GET, PATCH, POST, PUT), clearly differentiating their purpose. There is no overlap in functionality between tools.
All tools follow the consistent pattern 'conf_' followed by the HTTP method verb in lowercase (e.g., conf_delete, conf_get). This pattern is uniform and predictable.
With 5 tools covering the essential CRUD operations plus partial update, the count is well-scoped for a Confluence API server. It is not too few or too many.
The tools provide full coverage of basic resource lifecycle operations (create, read, update, partial update, delete). The descriptions include common API paths for pages, spaces, blog posts, etc., and the GET tool supports search via query parameters, leaving no obvious gaps.
