A4.1/5.0

Scored across 34 tools

Disambiguation4/5

The descriptions are exceptionally clear about when to use each tool, and most tools target distinct operations. However, with 34 tools there are several overlapping pairs (read_pcblib vs export_library, update_component vs write_pcblib, compare_components vs diff_libraries, copy_component vs copy_component_cross_library) that an agent could still confuse despite the guidance.

Naming Consistency5/5

Every tool uses snake_case with a verb_noun structure (read_pcblib, write_schlib, update_primitive, delete_component, etc.). The pattern holds consistently even for longer names like manage_schlib_parameters and copy_component_cross_library, making the tool names highly predictable.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is well above the typical 3-15 range and the 25+ threshold for 'too many'. Many tools are specialized and could be consolidated (e.g., multiple read/export variants, separate copy/rename/bulk_rename tools), making the surface heavy for the domain.

Completeness4/5

The server covers read, write, update, delete, validate, repair, compare, merge, copy, rename, backup, and 3D model extraction for Altium libraries. Gaps are minor: no fine-grained schematic primitive update (must replace whole symbol via update_component), no IntLib compilation, and SchLib repair is absent, but these are workable around.
