Scored across 2 tools
The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: one starts a scan and the other cancels it. There is no overlap or ambiguity between these operations, making it easy for an agent to select the correct tool for the intended action.
Both tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (start_scan, cancel_scan), using snake_case throughout. This predictable naming scheme enhances readability and reduces confusion for agents.
With only 2 tools, the server feels too thin for a scanning domain, as it lacks essential operations like retrieving scan results, listing scans, or configuring scans. This minimal set may force agents into dead ends or require workarounds.
The tool surface is severely incomplete for a nuclei scanning server. While start and cancel are basic actions, there are significant gaps: no way to get scan status, view results, list scans, or manage templates. This will likely cause agent failures in typical scanning workflows.
