Scored across 9 tools
Each tool targets a distinct combination of provider and action (search vs. get), with provider names clearly separating them. The only non-pair tool, get_open_access_pdf, has a unique purpose not covered by the others.
Tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern: search_<provider> and get_<provider>_<record> for all four services. The single outlier, get_open_access_pdf, still uses the 'get_' verb style, maintaining overall predictability.
Nine tools is well-scoped for a paper-search server, covering four major scholarly databases plus an OA PDF finder. Every tool provides a distinct, necessary capability without redundancy.
The domain is read-only scholarly search/retrieval, and the set covers the full lifecycle: search any provider, fetch detailed records, and obtain accessible full text. No obvious gaps or dead ends for the stated purpose.
