    A3.6/5.0

    Scored across 35 tools

    Disambiguation4/5

    Most tools target distinct resources or workflows with clear prefixes, but the review tools overlap with specific checks such as run_erc, run_drc, and pcb_net_stats. An agent can usually distinguish them, though choosing between a focused check and a broader review may require care.

    Naming Consistency4/5

    Names are consistently snake_case and use recognizable domain prefixes such as pcb_, sch_, doc_, lib_, run_, and review_. The verb/noun pattern is not perfectly uniform, with noun phrases like pcb_summary and capabilities mixed with verb-first names, but the set remains readable.

    Tool Count2/5

    35 tools is heavy for an MCP server tool set and exceeds the rubric's 25+ threshold for likely excess. Although KiCad is a broad domain, several tools could be consolidated or exposed as subcommands to reduce selection and context burden.

    Completeness4/5

    The server covers a wide read/analyze surface: project inspection, schematic and PCB checks, libraries, fabrication outputs, documentation, parts lookup, and design reviews. If editing or modifying boards and schematics is in scope, those operations are a notable gap, but for an analysis/review layer the surface is fairly complete.
