Scored across 3 tools
Each tool serves a clearly distinct purpose: reading a single note, listing notes recursively, and searching for content across notes. There is no overlap or ambiguity between them.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern: read_note, list_notes, search_vault. The naming convention is uniform and predictable.
Three tools is well-scoped for a read-only Obsidian vault server. Each tool earns its place and covers the essential read/query operations without redundancy.
For a read-only server, the surface is complete: you can read, list, and search notes. There are no obvious gaps for the stated purpose of accessing and searching vault content.
