Scored across 5 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: searching, getting details, getting URLs, downloading, and listing recent papers. No overlap.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with underscores (e.g., download_paper, search_papers). The naming is uniform and predictable.
With 5 tools, the server is well-scoped for its domain. It provides essential operations without being too few or overly numerous.
The tool set covers search, metadata retrieval, URL access, and download. Minor gap: lack of explicit filtering by author or category, but search likely supports parameters.
