Scored across 9 tools
Each tool targets a distinct aspect of Chess.com data: titled players, leaderboards, profiles, stats, current games, archives, games by month, and clubs. No ambiguity.
All tools follow a consistent 'chess_get_<noun>' pattern in snake_case, making them predictable and easy to select.
9 tools is well-scoped for a chess server, covering player info, games, and clubs without excess or deficiency.
Covers most essential areas (profiles, stats, games, clubs), but misses puzzle/rush data and tournament info, which are minor gaps.
