Scored across 213 tools
With 213 tools there are many overlapping pairs: get_parameter vs get_parameters, get_usd_attribute vs get_usd_attributes, capture_screenshot vs render_viewport vs render_node_network, create_material vs create_material_network, and several list_* tools that differ only subtly. Descriptions help in places, but an agent will frequently face unclear boundaries among the many read/inspect tools.
Most tools follow a snake_case verb_noun pattern (get_node_info, create_lop_node, list_usd_prims, set_render_settings). Minor deviations exist, such as playbar_control, log_status, undo/redo, and the misleadingly named create_vex_expression, but the overall convention is predictable.
213 tools is an extreme mismatch for a single MCP server, far beyond the typical 3-15 range. The surface spans many Houdini contexts, but the sheer volume makes tool discovery, selection, and maintenance unwieldy.
The surface is remarkably comprehensive across SOP, DOP, COP, TOP, LOP, CHOP, rendering, HDA, UI, and scene workflows, covering most lifecycle operations. However, there are minor gaps such as no delete_take, no delete_network_box, and some material lifecycle operations only partially exposed.
