Scored across 8 tools
Each tool has a distinct purpose: running, generating, validating, retrieving results/screenshots/videos, and opening the runner. No two tools overlap in function; the boundaries are clear.
All tools follow a consistent 'cypress_verb_noun' pattern in snake_case, making them predictable and easy to differentiate.
With 8 tools, the set covers core Cypress workflows (generate, run, validate, retrieve artifacts) without being overly large or sparse.
The set covers the major stages of Cypress testing: generation, validation, execution, and artifact retrieval. Missing a tool to explicitly list or delete tests, but the core lifecycle is well-supported.
