Scored across 1 tool

Disambiguation5/5

With only one tool, there is no possibility of confusing it with another. The tool's purpose is narrowly and clearly defined.

Naming Consistency5/5

The single tool name 'fetch_transcript' follows a clear verb_noun convention. There are no other names to contradict this pattern.

Tool Count3/5

One tool is borderline for a server, but it is reasonable for a narrowly focused YouTube transcript service. It feels thin if broader video or transcript management is expected, though the scope appears intentionally minimal.

Completeness4/5

The tool covers the core need of fetching a transcript with useful options like markdown output, caching, and provenance. Minor gaps exist around listing available transcripts or explicitly choosing languages, but these are workable and not fatal for the stated purpose.
