Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: retrieving email body chunks, listing recent emails, refreshing tokens, and sending emails. There is no overlap in functionality that would cause confusion or misselection.
All tools follow a consistent 'gmail_verb_noun' pattern with snake_case, making them predictable and easy to understand. The naming convention is uniform across all four tools.
With 4 tools, the count is reasonable for a Gmail server, though it feels slightly thin for covering all common email operations. It includes core functions but could benefit from additional tools like searching or managing drafts.
The tools cover basic email operations (read, list, send) and authentication, but there are notable gaps such as searching emails, managing labels, or handling attachments. This could limit agents in performing more complex email tasks.
