Scored across 8 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct resource and action: search vs. list entries are separated by keyword search versus board-filtered listing, and entry operations are distinct from board operations. The scrape tool is also clearly unique as a URL extraction helper.
All tools follow the same bowrd_ prefix plus snake_case verb_noun pattern: search_entries, list_boards, create_board, list_entries, create_entry, get_entry, update_entry. Scrape_images_from_url is slightly longer but still obey the same convention.
Eight tools is well-scoped for a visual bookmarking server covering boards and pins. Each tool occupies a distinct role without excessive surface area.
Entry lifecycle is mostly covered with create, list, search, get, and update, but delete is missing. Boards only have list and create, with no get, update, or delete operations, leaving notable gaps for board management.
