Scored across 5 tools
Each tool targets a distinct operation (create, read, update, delete, complete) on tasks, with no overlap. The descriptions clearly differentiate the actions.
All tools follow a consistent 'todoist_verb_task' pattern (e.g., todoist_complete_task, todoist_create_task), using snake_case and clear verbs.
With 5 tools, the set covers the essential CRUD operations plus a completion action, which is appropriate for a task management server. No excessive or missing tools.
The tools cover full CRUD (create, get, update, delete) and a common operation (complete), which is sufficient for basic task management. Minor gaps like reordering or sharing tasks are not critical.
