Scored across 8 tools
Each tool targets a distinct function: health check, account listing, attachment metadata, mailbox listing, permissions, message reading, thread reading, and search. No overlap in purpose.
All tools follow the 'mail_verb_noun' pattern with snake_case, e.g., mail_list_accounts, mail_read_message, providing strong predictability.
8 tools cover the core read-only operations on Apple Mail without being excessive or insufficient for the domain.
Covers health, permissions, account/mailbox listing, message/thread reading, search, and attachment metadata. Missing bulk message listing and attachment content export, but reasonable for read-only scope.
