Scored across 13 tools
Every tool targets a distinct operation: server control, driver management, messaging, listing, and property sending. No overlap in functionality.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case, e.g., start_indi_server, list_indi_driver_catalog, send_indi_property.
13 tools provide complete coverage for managing an INDI server and its drivers without being excessive; each tool serves a clear purpose.
Covers all major operations: server lifecycle, driver start/stop, messaging, and property setting. Minor gap: no dedicated tool to query a driver's current property state, though messages provide partial coverage.
