Scored across 3 tools
Each tool has a distinct purpose: listing books, full-text search, and fetching articles. No overlap in functionality.
All tools share the 'kiwix_' prefix and follow a verb_noun pattern (list_books, search, fetch_article), ensuring predictable naming.
With only 3 tools, the set is minimal but covers the core read-only workflow for a Kiwix ZIM server. Slightly low but not deficient.
The tools cover the essential operations: listing available books, searching within them, and retrieving full articles. Missing book metadata or browsing, but acceptable for a basic reader.
