Scored across 2 tools
The two tools are clearly differentiated by tier: basic returns simple results while pro returns text chunks with relevance scores. An agent can distinguish them, though choosing between basic and pro may still require judgment about cost/quality tradeoffs.
Both tools follow the same predictable pattern kimi_search_basic and kimi_search_pro, using a consistent prefix plus a clear tier suffix.
Only two tools make the surface thin, but for a focused search server offering two quality tiers this is borderline rather than inappropriate. It earns each tool's place but leaves little room for parameterization or content retrieval.
For a web search server, basic and pro tiers cover the core capability, including richer output via relevance scores. Minor gaps exist, such as a dedicated content-fetch or pagination tool, but agents can work around them.
