Scored across 7 tools
Each tool serves a clearly distinct purpose: search, retrieve details, update rating/status, and get specific book lists. The meta-tool for category management is separate from book operations, eliminating any overlap.
Most tools follow a verb_noun pattern in snake_case (search_books, get_book, update_book_rating). 'use_booklore_category' deviates slightly from the update/get/search verbs, but the pattern remains readable and consistent overall.
Seven tools is well-scoped for a personal library assistant. Each tool addresses a core need—searching, viewing, updating, and tracking—without unnecessary redundancy or gaps.
The core book lifecycle is covered: search, details, rating, status, and reading progress. Missing create/delete operations are likely out of scope, and the category system hints at additional modules, so coverage is strong for the stated purpose.
