Scored across 7 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: delete_torrent removes torrents, download_torrent adds new torrents, get_torrent_info retrieves status, list_search_plugins shows available plugins, pause_torrent and resume_torrent control torrent state, and search_torrents finds new torrents. There is no overlap or ambiguity between these functions.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case (e.g., delete_torrent, download_torrent, get_torrent_info). The naming is predictable and readable throughout the set, with no deviations or mixed conventions.
With 7 tools, the server is well-scoped for managing torrents in qBittorrent. It covers core operations like adding, removing, controlling, and querying torrents, plus search functionality, without being overly sparse or bloated.
The tool set provides comprehensive coverage for basic torrent management, including CRUD-like operations (download, delete, get info) and state control (pause/resume). A minor gap is the lack of tools for managing torrent properties (e.g., setting priorities, moving files) or categories/tags directly, but core workflows are well-supported.
