Scored across 5 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct focus: activity details, category aggregation, hourly productivity, trend over days, and a comprehensive daily summary. No overlap between tools.
All tools follow a consistent 'get_<descriptive_noun>' pattern with snake_case, making it predictable for an agent to infer function from name.
Five tools is well-scoped for a personal productivity monitoring server, covering key aspects without unnecessary complexity or missing essentials.
The tool set covers daily summary, detailed activities, categories, hourly breakdown, and trends. Minor gaps like historical data export or multi-day comparison are acceptable.
