Scored across 6 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: add, delete by source, list sources, reset, search, and stats. No overlapping functionality between them.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with 'memory_' prefix, e.g., memory_add, memory_delete_source. No mixing of conventions.
6 tools is well-scoped for a memory management server covering core CRUD-like operations plus search and stats. Not too few nor too many.
Covers add, delete by source, list sources, search, and stats. Lacks individual memory item update or delete, but for vector stores these are less critical. Minor gap.
