Scored across 15 tools
Each tool has a distinct purpose: search vs details vs rankings vs seasonal vs user lists vs suggestions, and clear update/delete operations for user lists. No two tools appear to do the same thing.
Most tools follow a 'get_<resource>_<modifier>' pattern, but a few deviate (e.g., get_seasonal_anime, get_suggested_anime) and the delete/update tools use 'myanimelist'/'mymangalist' as one word, which is inconsistent with the underscore style elsewhere. Still, the verb-noun convention is consistent and predictable.
15 tools is appropriate for a server covering both anime and manga, including search, details, rankings, seasonal, user lists, suggestions, profile, and list management. Each tool serves a clear purpose without excessive overlap.
The set covers the main workflows: searching, retrieving details, rankings, seasonal anime, user lists, suggestions, profile, and updating/deleting user list entries. The only notable gap is the lack of an explicit 'add to list' operation, though update may implicitly cover it.
