Scored across 2 tools
image_search and web_search are clearly distinct: one retrieves images, the other general web results. The names and descriptions leave no ambiguity about which tool to use for a given query.
Both tools follow the identical <object>_search pattern, creating a predictable and consistent naming convention that aligns with their functions.
With only two tools, the server feels minimal but covers the two primary search needs (general and image). It is borderline because the scope could reasonably include other search types.
The tool surface covers general web search and image search well, but is missing potentially common search types like news or video. Overall, the core search functionality is not left with dead ends.
