C2.7/5.0

Scored across 2 tools

Disambiguation3/5

The two tools are clearly distinguished by single vs. batch operation, and the descriptions explicitly state when to use each. However, there is still some ambiguity since both serve the same fundamental purpose (adding notes to a deck), and an agent might reasonably pick either for a single-note add when the batch tool would also work.

Naming Consistency3/5

Both tools follow a verb_noun style with 'add' as the verb, which is consistent. However, the naming is somewhat redundant ('add_anki_note' vs 'add_multiple_anki_notes') rather than a clean noun-based pattern like 'create_note' and 'create_notes', and the repetition of 'anki' in both is verbose.

Tool Count1/5

Only two tools exist, and they cover only the 'add' operation. For a flashcard MCP server, this is extremely thin — there are no tools to retrieve, update, delete, search, or review notes or decks. A server this narrow is difficult to justify as useful for real workflows.

Completeness1/5

The surface only supports adding notes. There are no get/update/delete operations for notes, no deck management, no card review/study operations, and no search capability. This is a severely incomplete surface for managing Anki flashcards and will cause agents to hit dead ends immediately after adding content.
