Scored across 4 tools
Each tool targets a distinct operation: adding cards, retrieving due cards, retrieving new cards, and updating card status. No overlap in functionality.
All tool names follow a consistent 'verb_noun' pattern (add_card, get_due_cards, get_new_cards, update_cards) using snake_case, making them predictable and easy to understand.
With 4 tools, the set is appropriately scoped for a flashcard management server, covering essential operations without unnecessary bloat or gaps.
The tools cover the core lifecycle of creating, retrieving, and updating flashcards. Missing a delete operation or deck management, but the set is functional for basic use.
