Scored across 5 tools
Each tool targets a distinct operation: listing articles, listing folders, saving, searching, and fetching by ID. The boundaries between list_articles (by folder), search_articles (by keyword), and get_article (by ID) are clear from the descriptions.
All five tools follow a clean verb_noun snake_case pattern (list_articles, list_folders, save_article, search_articles, get_article). Naming is fully predictable.
Five tools is well-scoped for a focused Apple Notes integration covering folder listing, article listing, save, search, and retrieval. No redundant or filler tools.
The surface covers create, read, list, and search, but lacks update and delete operations for existing notes, which are notable gaps for a notes-management domain. Agents can save new notes but cannot edit or remove them.
