A3.9/5.0
Scored across 8 tools
Disambiguation5/5
Each tool targets a clearly distinct resource and action: single-record lookups (oa_get_work, oa_get_author), term searches over distinct entity types, and identifier-based traversals (oa_cited_by, oa_author_works). The descriptions explicitly distinguish identifier filters from term searches, so an agent can reliably choose the right tool.
Naming Consistency5/5
All eight tools follow a consistent oa_ + verb_noun pattern (oa_get_work, oa_search_authors, oa_cited_by, oa_author_works). The shared oa_ namespace prefix and uniform snake_case make the set predictable.
Tool Count5/5
Eight tools is well-scoped for a read-oriented scholarly metadata API, covering the major entity types without redundant operations. Each tool earns its place by serving a distinct query pattern.
Completeness4/5
The surface covers work lookup/search, author lookup/search/works, source search, institution search, and citation traversal, which handles most research workflows. Minor gaps remain: no direct get-by-ID for sources or institutions, and no explicit references or related-works operation.
