Scored across 1 tool
Only one tool exists, so there is no possibility of confusion with other tools. The tool's purpose is clearly defined.
With a single tool, naming consistency is trivially satisfied. The name 'ask_perplexity' follows a clear verb_noun pattern in snake_case.
A single tool is borderline for a server claiming to offer a 'toolkit'. However, the tool is versatile and handles both simple and complex queries, justifying its singular existence.
The domain is to answer user queries by searching the internet. The single tool covers all necessary functionality (simple and complex queries) without obvious gaps.
