Scored across 8 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose targeting specific Heroku operations: config vars, app details, logs, add-ons, app listing, releases, restarting, and scaling. There is no overlap in functionality, and an agent can easily distinguish between them based on their specific resource and action combinations.
All tool names follow a consistent 'heroku_' prefix with a verb_noun pattern (e.g., heroku_get_app, heroku_list_addons). The naming is uniform across all eight tools, using snake_case throughout, making it predictable and easy to understand.
With 8 tools, this server is well-scoped for managing Heroku apps. Each tool serves a distinct and essential function in app management, covering monitoring, configuration, deployment, and scaling without being overly broad or too limited.
The tool set provides strong coverage for core Heroku app management, including monitoring (logs, releases), configuration (config vars, add-ons), and operations (restart, scale). A minor gap exists in CRUD operations for apps (e.g., create or delete an app), but agents can still handle most workflows effectively with the available tools.
