A3.7/5.0

Scored 2026-04-18 11:50 across 4 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: get_stories retrieves story lists by type, get_story_info provides detailed story data with comments, get_user_info focuses on user profiles and submissions, and search_stories handles story searches. There is no overlap or ambiguity between these functions.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case: get_stories, get_story_info, get_user_info, and search_stories. The naming is predictable and readable throughout the set.

Tool Count5/5

With 4 tools, this is well-scoped for a Hacker News server, covering core operations like listing stories, getting details, user info, and searching. Each tool earns its place without being excessive or insufficient.

Completeness4/5

The toolset covers the essential Hacker News domain well, including story retrieval, details, user info, and search. A minor gap is the lack of comment-specific operations (e.g., posting or voting), but the core workflows are complete and functional.
