Each tool has a clearly distinct role: searching transcripts, retrieving a full episode by title, listing all episodes, and listing recent episodes. The only slight overlap is between list_episodes and get_recent_episodes, but their descriptions make the difference understandable.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case: search_transcripts, get_episode, list_episodes, get_recent_episodes. The naming is predictable and easy to infer.

The tool surface fully covers the core podcast workflow: discover episodes, see recent ones, search across transcripts, and retrieve full transcripts. No significant missing operations are apparent for this domain.
