Scored across 6 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no ambiguity: building, generating, getting status, listing templates, modifying, and testing DevContainers. The descriptions reinforce these distinct roles, making misselection unlikely.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (e.g., build_devcontainer, generate_devcontainer) with snake_case throughout. This predictability aids agent understanding and tool selection.
Six tools are well-scoped for a DevContainer management server, covering key operations without bloat. Each tool earns its place by addressing a specific aspect of the DevContainer lifecycle.
The tool set provides complete CRUD/lifecycle coverage for DevContainers: creation (generate/build), reading (get status, list templates), updating (modify), and testing. No obvious gaps exist for the stated purpose.
