Scored across 41 tools
Each tool targets a distinct resource and action, and the many search/read tools are explicitly differentiated by purpose (substring vs. tag vs. structured vs. semantic search; metadata vs. fulltext vs. outline vs. page-range reading). Cross-references in descriptions steer the agent to the right tool, so overlap is minimal.
All names use snake_case with a uniform `zotero_` prefix and mostly follow verb_noun (get_item_metadata, create_collection, delete_item). A few deviations (write_capabilities, advanced_search, semantic_search, manage_note) are minor but prevent a perfect 5.
41 tools is far above the typical 3–15 range and exceeds the 25+ threshold for 'too many'; despite the broad Zotero domain, the surface is granular enough that agent selection becomes burdensome. Several tools could be grouped behind modes (e.g., PDF operations, search variants) or conditionally loaded.
The surface covers full CRUD for items, collections, annotations, and notes, plus attachment handling, multiple search backends, semantic indexing, bibliography export, library switching, and authentication. No major lifecycle gap is apparent for core Zotero workflows.
