A3.9/5.0
Scored across 4 tools
Disambiguation5/5
Each tool targets a distinct resource: transcript, video metadata, channel info, and search results. There is no overlap or ambiguity between them.
Naming Consistency4/5
Most tools follow the get_<resource> pattern (get_transcript, get_video_info, get_channel_info), with search_videos as a minor deviation. The naming is still clear and predictable, but not perfectly uniform.
Tool Count5/5
The server has 4 tools, which is well-scoped for a YouTube info retrieval MCP. Each tool serves a clear and necessary purpose without redundancy.
Completeness4/5
The coverage is solid for a read-only YouTube API: search, video info, channel info, and transcripts. Minor gaps like playlist support or comments are not core to the apparent purpose, so agents can work around them.
