Scored across 18 tools
Most tools are clearly distinct (get_note vs list_notes vs search_notes; create/update/delete/restore_note; folder operations). The only mild overlap is get_neighbors vs get_graph, but their descriptions explicitly differentiate scope and output shape, so an agent can choose correctly.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern: get_note, list_notes, create_note, update_note, delete_note, restore_note, search_notes, list_folders, create_folder, update_folder, delete_folder, get_graph, get_backlinks, get_neighbors, append_to_note, replace_in_note, indexing_status, list_tags. No mixed conventions or vague verbs.
18 tools is on the higher end but appropriate for a knowledge-management server covering notes, folders, search, graph, and indexing. Each tool earns its place; the count is justified by the domain breadth.
The surface covers the full note lifecycle (create, read, update, append, replace, delete, restore), folder management, search (text/semantic/hybrid), graph traversal, backlinks, tags, and indexing status. No obvious dead ends: every write has a corresponding read, and soft-delete has restore.
