Scored across 5 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: get_activity_data focuses on specific applications/websites, get_category_breakdown on high-level categories, get_hourly_productivity on hourly patterns, get_productivity_trend on multi-day trends, and get_today_summary on a comprehensive daily overview. There is no overlap or ambiguity between these functions.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern starting with 'get_' followed by a descriptive noun phrase (e.g., get_activity_data, get_category_breakdown). This uniformity makes the tool set predictable and easy to understand at a glance.
With 5 tools, this server is well-scoped for its purpose of providing RescueTime productivity insights. Each tool serves a unique and valuable function, covering key aspects like detailed activity data, category breakdowns, hourly analysis, trends, and daily summaries without being overwhelming or sparse.
The tool set covers the core productivity analysis domain comprehensively, including data retrieval, categorization, time-based patterns, and summaries. A minor gap is the lack of tools for modifying or configuring data (e.g., setting goals or adjusting classifications), but this is reasonable for a read-only analytics server focused on insights.
