Scored across 5 tools
Each tool serves a unique purpose: searching, listing threads/collections, following up, and exporting. No overlapping functionality.
All tools follow the 'perplexity_' prefix with snake_case, mixing verb and noun patterns consistently (e.g., search, threads, export). Predictable and clear.
Five tools is well-scoped for a search assistant: core search, thread management, follow-up, export, and collections. Not excessive nor sparse.
Covers essential operations: search, view threads, follow-up, export, and list collections. Minor gap: no tool to delete or modify threads/collections, but core workflow is complete.
