Scored across 7 tools
Each tool targets a distinct media type (audio, image, text, video) or draft operation (create, get, list), with no overlapping purposes.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (e.g., add_audio, create_draft, list_drafts), making them predictable.
7 tools is well-scoped for a video editing assistant, covering essential draft and media operations without bloat.
Covers draft creation, listing, and adding media, but lacks remove/update operations for media or export functionality, which are minor gaps.
