Scored across 9 tools
Each tool targets a distinct filesystem operation with no overlap, making selection unambiguous.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case, e.g., copy_file, create_directory.
9 tools cover essential filesystem operations without being excessive or insufficient.
The set covers CRUD for files and directories, listing, searching, metadata, and move/rename with no obvious gaps.
