Scored across 13 tools
Most tools have clearly distinct purposes (list libraries/collections/items, get item content, search, rebuild index, stats). However, search_metadata and search_library with scope='metadata' overlap, and compare_items partially duplicates get_item + get_item_fulltext as a batch operation. Detailed descriptions mitigate but do not eliminate the ambiguity.
All 13 tools follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern: list_* for enumerating multiple entities, get_* for retrieving specific content, search_* for the two search tools, plus rebuild_search_index, compare_items, and get_library_stats. The naming is highly predictable and readable.
13 tools is well within the ideal range for this server's scope. Each tool addresses a distinct part of the Zotero read-only workflow (library discovery, collection/item listing, metadata retrieval, fulltext/notes/annotations extraction, search, indexing, comparison, and stats), with no obvious bloat.
The tool set provides complete read-only coverage of the Zotero research workflow: discover libraries and collections, list and filter items, fetch full metadata and child content, search across all scopes, maintain the search index, compare multiple items, and retrieve library statistics. There are no dead ends for the stated purpose.
