The 'process' tool is generic and overlaps with 'caption', as captioning is a specific use case that could be handled by process. 'ocr' is distinct. The descriptions help clarify intended use, but the boundary between process and caption is not fully clear.
All tools use a single lowercase verb (process, caption, ocr), which is consistent in style. However, the lack of noun objects (e.g., 'process_image' vs 'process') makes them slightly less predictable, but the pattern is uniform.
With 3 tools, the server is on the lighter side but within a reasonable range for a focused vision model server. It covers the core capabilities without being bloated, though it could benefit from a few more specialized tools.
The tools cover generic processing, captioning, and OCR, but Florence-2 supports many other vision tasks (e.g., object detection, segmentation, grounding) that are not exposed. The generic 'process' tool mitigates some gaps, but the surface feels incomplete for the model's full potential.
