Scored across 50 tools
Most tools map cleanly to a resource+action, but search_library, search_fulltext, and search are near-duplicates, and fetch largely duplicates get_item_details. An agent could struggle to pick the right retrieval tool despite generally helpful descriptions.
The vast majority follow a verb_noun pattern (add_paper_by_doi, get_collection_items, rename_tag, delete_annotation). Minor outliers like search, fetch, and health_check, plus the singular/plural mismatch in add_paper_by_doi vs add_papers_by_dois, keep it from being perfect.
With 50 tools this is a very large surface for an agent to navigate, exceeding the 'too many' threshold. Even though Zotero is a rich domain, many add/get/search variants could be consolidated without losing capability.
The toolset covers Zotero's core resources thoroughly: items, collections, tags, notes, annotations, attachments, exports, and search all have lifecycle operations. There are no obvious dead ends; trash/restore, annotation CRUD, and batch DOI import make the surface feel complete.
