Scored across 7 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: single URL check, bulk check, details by ID, statistics, recent listings, and searches by date or target. No overlapping functionality.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., check_url, get_phish_details, search_phish_by_date), making them predictable and easy to understand.
With 7 tools, the surface is well-scoped for a phishing database server, covering all common query needs without unnecessary bloat.
The tool set provides complete coverage for querying phishing data: single and batch checks, detailed info, stats, recent entries, and searching by date or target. No obvious gaps.
