Scored across 6 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: submitting URLs, retrieving single snapshots, listing multiple snapshots, comparing snapshots, fetching text from a snapshot, and searching non-Wayback items. No overlap.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (e.g., archive_url, list_snapshots, fetch_archived_text), making the API predictable.
6 tools cover the core operations of web archiving and searching the Internet Archive catalog, neither too few nor too many.
The toolset provides a complete lifecycle for Wayback snapshots (submit, retrieve, list, compare, get text) and adds search for other archive types, with no obvious gaps.
