Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: linting artifacts, listing supported formats, listing available rulesets, and validating ruleset definitions. No ambiguity or overlap.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (e.g., lint_artifact, list_formats). Underscore separation and lowercase verbs are used uniformly.
Four tools cover the core functionality of a linter server (lint, discover formats, list rulesets, validate rulesets) without being overly sparse or excessive.
The tool set covers the main use cases, though a tool to view a single rule's details or run lint with a custom ruleset might be missing, but these are minor gaps.
