Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: read/write/append/clear values, manage sheets/dimensions/protected ranges/conditional formats/tables/charts/permissions, and auth tools are separated by function. Overlaps are minimized by using action parameters within a tool rather than separate tools (e.g., manage_sheets covers add/duplicate/rename/delete/copy_to), which keeps boundaries clean.

Tool names follow a highly consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern: read_values, write_values, append_values, clear_values, create_spreadsheet, get_spreadsheet, manage_sheets, format_cells, set_data_validation, etc. The few auth tools (logout, auth_status, finish_login, start_login) also fit the pattern with clear verbs/nouns.

26 tools is at the high end for a Google Sheets MCP server and borders on heavy; while many are essential, some could potentially be consolidated (e.g., format_cells, set_borders, set_frozen could be batch_update-style actions). Still, the count is plausible given the breadth of the Sheets API surface.

The toolset covers most core Google Sheets operations (CRUD on spreadsheets, values, sheets, formatting, validation, dimensions, protections, conditional formats, tables, charts, permissions) and includes raw_request as an escape hatch. Minor gaps exist: no direct search for spreadsheets without Drive scope, no batch update for values other than write, and some advanced features (named ranges, banding, filters) require raw_request.
