Each tool targets a unique resource or action: get_snippet retrieves full content by ID, list_snippets returns metadata only, list_tags enumerates tags, and list_groups enumerates groups. There is no overlap in purpose, so an agent can easily select the right tool.

All tool names follow a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern with clear prefixes: get_ for single-item retrieval and list_ for collection enumeration. The naming is predictable and uniform across the set.

Four tools is a compact set that covers reading and browsing snippets, tags, and groups. It is slightly under-scoped for a snippet manager because it omits search/filter or mutation tools, but each existing tool earns its place.

The read surface is partially complete: list_snippets and get_snippet cover snippet retrieval, and list_tags/list_groups expose metadata. However, there is no create, update, or delete for snippets, and no way to search or filter snippets by tag or group, which are notable gaps for a snippet management domain.
