Scored across 1 tool
With only one tool, there is no risk of overlap or misselection. The tool's name and description clearly define a single purpose.
The single tool folows a consistent verb_noun pattern, using 'get_*' which is clear and predictable.
One tool feels thin for a server named 'azcool-boards-mcp-testcases', which implies a broader test case generation workflow. The count is borderline but not extreme.
Covers only a single fetch operation, which is insufficient to generate test cases. The surface lacks listing, selection, or generation tooling, leaving significant workflow gaps.
