All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case, making them predictable and easy to understand.
13 tools is well-scoped for a chat server, covering core messaging, reactions, searches, file handling, and presence without being excessive.
Missing edit/delete message and space management features, but the essential chat workflows are fully covered.
