Scored across 3 tools
The three tools have clearly distinct primary actions: searching versus retrieving by Scopus ID. However, get_article_details and get_article_abstract overlap since details also includes the abstract when available, which could cause minor confusion about which to call.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern: search_scopus, get_article_details, get_article_abstract. The get_article_* prefix for the two retrieval tools reinforces a predictable structure.
Three tools is on the small side but appropriately scoped for a simple search-and-retrieve workflow. The count feels slightly thin for a general-purpose Scopus API wrapper, but each tool serves a necessary step in the primary flow.
The core lifecycle of discovering articles and retrieving full metadata or abstracts is covered, with no dead ends. Minor gaps exist, such as no direct citation-list or author-detail endpoints, but these are reasonable omissions given the stated purpose.
