Scored across 1 tool
With only one tool, there is no possibility of ambiguity. The tool's purpose is clearly distinct by default.
Only one tool exists, so naming is trivially consistent. The name 'perplexity_search' uses a clear verb_noun pattern.
A single tool is borderline for a server. While it may suffice for a basic search function, it feels thin and lacks supplementary tools for a richer interaction.
The server is narrowly scoped to web search via Perplexity, and the single tool covers the core operation adequately. Minor gaps like filtering or history are absent but not critical for the stated purpose.
