A4.9/5.0

Scored across 18 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose: emulation control (pause/unpause/reset), stepping (advance_frames), memory access at different widths (read8/16/32/range and write counterparts), state management (save/load), input (press_buttons), info retrieval (get_info), and screenshot. There is no functional overlap.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow the pattern 'mgba_' followed by a descriptive verb or verb_noun in snake_case (e.g., advance_frames, read16, save_state). The naming is uniform and predictable, with clear size suffixes for read/write tools.

Tool Count5/5

18 tools is a well-scoped count for an emulator control server. Each tool addresses a specific need without redundancy, covering emulation flow, memory manipulation, state persistence, input, and diagnostics.

Completeness5/5

The tool set provides full lifecycle coverage: start/reset, pause/resume, single-step, memory read/write at all common widths, state save/load (slot or file), screenshot, input queuing, and info. No obvious gaps exist for typical emulation debugging or automation tasks.
