Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: searching, getting details, retrieving install commands, and viewing popular skills. No overlap or ambiguity.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., get_install_command, search_skills), making them predictable and easy to understand.
With 4 tools covering search, details, install commands, and popular skills, the set is well-scoped for a skill discovery and installation server—neither too sparse nor excessive.
The tools provide a complete workflow: search for skills, examine details, retrieve install commands, and browse popular skills. No obvious gaps for the stated purpose.
