Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a distinct purpose: describing table schema, getting latest partition, listing tables, and executing SELECT queries. No overlap.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with underscores: describe_table, get_latest_partition, list_tables, read_query.
4 tools is reasonable for a focused MaxCompute server covering essential table inspection and querying operations, though some users might expect a few more utility tools.
Covers the main use cases for exploring and querying tables in MaxCompute (list, describe, get latest partition, query). Minor gaps like fetching specific partitions or writing data, but sufficient for typical read-only scenarios.
