Scored across 39 tools
Most tools target a distinct resource+action pair, and potentially confusing clusters are well-differentiated in descriptions (search_items is metadata search, search_fulltext is PDF text, search_entities is the entity graph). A few adjacent pairs — check_retractions vs check_published_versions and get_citation_graph vs find_related_papers vs query_knowledge_graph — occupy overlapping territory and could cause misselection without careful reading.
Nearly all 39 tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (get_item, create_collection, trash_items, query_knowledge_graph, export_knowledge_graph), with modifiers like manual and cited_document kept predictable. Two deviations stand out: batch_organize inverts to adverb_verb, and add_to_collection uses a prepositional form rather than a verb_noun structure like add_item_to_collection.
At 39 tools, this is a heavy surface that exceeds the 25+ threshold for comfortable agent navigation. The count is inflated by several niche sub-domains tacked onto core library management — SSL diagnostics, SQLite key auditing, attachment migration planning, and a full biomedical entity extraction pipeline — making the toolset feel bloated even though each individual tool has a defined purpose.
The core item lifecycle is well covered (create, search, get, update, trash, inspect trash, empty trash), and advanced features like citation graphs, full-text search, and retraction checks are solid. Notable gaps remain: notes can be read and created but not updated or deleted, collections cannot be deleted or have items removed from them, duplicates can be found but not merged, and there is no tool to restore trashed items.
