Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: get_transcript retrieves existing results, submit_transcription initiates async transcription, transcribe_file handles local files, and transcribe_url handles remote URLs. There is no overlap or ambiguity between these operations.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case naming (e.g., get_transcript, submit_transcription, transcribe_file, transcribe_url). The naming is predictable and uniform throughout the set.
With 4 tools, the count is reasonable for a transcription service, covering core operations. It might benefit from additional tools like listing transcripts or checking status, but it's well-scoped for basic functionality.
The tools cover key transcription workflows: submitting audio, transcribing from different sources, and retrieving results. Minor gaps exist, such as no tool for listing or deleting transcripts, but agents can work effectively with the provided set.
