Scored across 5 tools
Each tool targets a distinct operation: querying, stats, CSV link, search, and metadata retrieval. cms_get_dataset and cms_get_dataset_stats could be slightly confused, but descriptions clarify their purposes.
All tool names follow a consistent snake_case pattern with the 'cms_' prefix and clear verb_noun structure, making them predictable and easy to scan.
Five tools are well-scoped for a data catalog server, covering discovery, metadata, querying, stats, and export without redundancy.
The tool set covers key aspects of dataset interaction, but lacks tools for schema exploration (e.g., listing columns) or direct data export beyond CSV links, which might be needed for some workflows.
