Scored across 38 tools
There is notable overlap between 'agentFriendly_' and regular tools (e.g., history and TA indicators), which can confuse an agent on which variant to use. Some tools have similar purposes but with different output optimizations.
Naming conventions are mixed: some use hyphens (marketcap-history), some underscores (assets_slug), and many have prefixes like agentFriendly_ or post_prepaid_. This inconsistency makes pattern recognition harder.
38 tools is excessive for a coin data API. Many tools duplicate functionality (e.g., separate 'latest' and full series for each TA indicator, agentFriendly versions of existing tools). A smaller, more cohesive set would be more effective.
The tool set covers core CoinCap features: assets, history, technical indicators, markets, exchanges, rates, prices, and account management. Missing only minor niche endpoints, but overall sufficient for market analysis.
