Scored across 3 tools
The three tools map cleanly to distinct actions: listing topics, reading a thread, and posting a reply. There is no overlap or plausible misselection between them.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern: list_topics, read_thread, post_reply. The convention is predictable and readable.
Three tools is lean but well matched to a focused discussion-participation server; each earns its place. It is slightly under the typical 3-15 range only in the sense that there is no room for auxiliary operations like search.
The surface covers the core lifecycle for an agent participating in Agora: discover topics, read turns, and post replies. Minor gaps such as search, topic creation, or editing/deleting one's own reply are reasonable omissions for the stated scope.
