B3.3/5.0

Scored across 3 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Each tool has a distinct role: search returns images, analyze evaluates relevance, download saves locally. The line between search and analyze could cause minor confusion, but descriptions clarify.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case: search_images, analyze_images, download_image.

Tool Count4/5

3 tools is slightly low for a search service, but for a focused utility it's reasonable and each tool serves a clear purpose.

Completeness3/5

Core search, analysis, and download are covered, but missing image metadata retrieval, pagination, or search refinement are notable gaps.
