Scored across 3 tools
Each tool has a distinct purpose: search_game finds games by name, get_game retrieves full details for a specific game, and get_game_reviews fetches individual critic reviews. There is no overlap in functionality, and the descriptions clearly indicate when to use each.
All tool names follow the same verb_noun pattern with lowercase snake_case: get_game, search_game, get_game_reviews. The pattern is consistent and predictable, making it easy to guess the function of each tool.
With only three tools, the server is well-scoped for its purpose of accessing OpenCritic data. Each tool covers a necessary step in the workflow (search, details, reviews), and no redundant or superfluous tools are present.
The toolset provides a complete read-only workflow: search to find a game, then retrieve either its full details or its individual reviews. There are no obvious gaps, and the filter options add flexibility for platform-specific queries.
