Scored across 15 tools
Each tool targets a distinct action on a specific Trello resource (board, list, card, checklist, comment, user). No two tools have overlapping purposes; even closely related tools like 'get_card' and 'list_cards' are clearly differentiated by scope.
All tools follow a consistent 'trello_verb_noun' pattern using lowercase with underscores. Verbs are imperative and descriptive (add, archive, create, get, list, move, search, update, whoami), with no mixing of conventions.
With 15 tools, the set covers the primary Trello workflows (boards, lists, cards, checklists, comments, search, user info) without being bloated. Each tool serves a clear purpose within the domain.
The tool set covers core operations for cards (CRUD + move/archive/search), checklists, comments, and boards (list/get). Missing board/list creation and deletion, but these are less common for typical agent tasks. Archiving is preferred over deletion, which is reasonable.
