Scored across 7 tools
Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no ambiguity. The tools target specific resources like API references, examples, overviews, community resources, plugin guides, templates, and search, making it easy for an agent to select the right tool without confusion.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with 'get_' or 'search_' prefixes, such as get_api_reference, get_backstage_examples, and search_backstage_knowledge. This predictable naming scheme enhances readability and usability.
With 7 tools, the server is well-scoped for its purpose of providing Backstage knowledge and development resources. Each tool earns its place by covering distinct aspects like documentation, examples, guides, and search, without being overly sparse or bloated.
The tool surface is complete for the domain of Backstage information retrieval, covering CRUD-like operations (get/search) across all key areas: API, examples, overview, community, plugin development, templates, and search. There are no obvious gaps that would cause agent failures.
