Scored across 15 tools
Disambiguation4/5
Most tools target clearly distinct facets—name resolution, search, history, types, distribution, references, figures, phylogeny, keys—so an agent can usually select correctly. Some minor ambiguity exists among resolve_taxon, search_taxa, name_history, and taxon_record, which all deal with taxon identity and classification, though their descriptions provide enough distinction.
Naming Consistency3/5
All names are lowercase snake_case, which is good, but the pattern is mixed: some tools use verb-first names like resolve_taxon, search_taxa, and batch_resolve, while most data endpoints are bare nouns like distribution, figures, phylogeny, and classification. This is readable but not a disciplined verb_noun or noun-only convention.
Tool Count5/5
Fifteen tools is within the ideal range for a domain-specific digital-library server, and each tool appears to expose a meaningful, separate capability. Health check and raw endpoint are additional system-level utilities that do not feel redundant, so the count is well-scoped.
Completeness4/5
The surface covers core workflows for resolving, viewing, and citing taxa, including types, distributions, figures, phylogeny, and identification keys, with only a few likely gaps. Missing a broader literature/reference search or general specimen-search operation would be workaroundable, but the set is largely complete for a read-only taxonomic library.
