B3.3/5.0

Scored across 46 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Most tools target distinct Excel objects and actions, and descriptions clarify boundaries (e.g., replace_cells vs write_range, format_range vs set_sheet_layout). A few tools like clear_range vs delete_rows_or_columns or import_csv vs import_workbook could still cause minor confusion, but overall purposes are separable.

Naming Consistency4/5

Nearly all tool names follow a snake_case verb_noun pattern (create_workbook, read_range, delete_chart). Minor deviations like 'goal_seek' (noun_verb) and long compound objects ('insert_rows_or_columns') are small and readable.

Tool Count2/5

With 46 tools, the set is far above the 3-15 sweet spot and exceeds the 25-tool threshold for 'too many' under the rubric. While Excel is a broad domain, many operations could be consolidated (e.g., multiple delete_* and set_* variants), making the surface heavy for an agent to navigate.

Completeness4/5

The surface covers workbook, sheet, range, row/column, chart, sparkline, image, pivot, slicer, table, defined name, note, validation, conditional format, formula tracing, goal seek, and VBA reading. Minor gaps exist, such as explicit deletion tools for tables, conditional formats, and data validations, which agents must work around.
