Scored across 25 tools
Most tools have distinct purposes, but some overlap exists, e.g., between get_cards_by_list_id and get_my_cards, or get_card_history and get_recent_activity. Descriptions help differentiate but minor ambiguity remains.
Most tool names follow a verb_noun pattern (e.g., add_card_to_list, archive_list). However, there are minor deviations like get_active_board_info (verb_adjective_noun) and get_cards_by_list_id (preposition). Overall consistent.
With 25 tools, the server covers a broad Trello domain but feels slightly heavy. Most tools are justified, though some could be combined (e.g., get_board_members vs assign/remove). Still reasonable.
Covers key CRUD for boards, lists, cards, labels, and members. Notable gaps: no tool to delete a board, list, or card (only archive), and no unarchive operation. Missing update board/list details.
