Scored across 11 tools
Disambiguation4/5
Most tools have clearly distinct purposes (search vs fetch vs fulltext vs citation formatting vs spell check vs MeSH lookup). Two potential overlap points exist: pubmed_fetch_articles (metadata by PMID) and pubmed_fetch_fulltext (full text by PMC/DOI/PMID) could be confused, as could pubmed_search_articles and pubmed_europepmc_search, though descriptions do clarify the boundaries (metadata vs full text; PubMed vs broader Europe PMC corpus).
Naming Consistency5/5
All 11 tools follow a strict, predictable prefix naming convention: pubmed_<verb>_<noun> (search_articles, fetch_articles, fetch_fulltext, format_citations, spell_check, lookup_mesh, lookup_citation, convert_ids, find_related) with europepmc variants clearly signposted. The pattern is uniform and readable throughout.
Tool Count5/5
11 tools is a well-scoped count for a literature database server, covering search, retrieval, full text, identifier conversion, citation lookup/formatting, vocabulary lookup, and related-article discovery. Each tool earns its place with a distinct role.
Completeness4/5
The surface covers a full research lifecycle: querying (PubMed, Europe PMC), retrieving metadata and full text, converting IDs, resolving structured citations, exploring MeSH, spell checking, formatting citations, and finding related articles. Minor gaps include no export/save functionality or batch citation export, but core workflows are well covered.
