Scored across 4 tools
Most tools are distinct: get_available_languages and get_video_info have clear purposes. get_transcript and get_timed_transcript overlap but differ by timestamps, creating slight ambiguity.
All tools follow a consistent 'get_' prefix with descriptive nouns in snake_case, making the pattern predictable.
Four tools cover core operations (transcript, timed transcript, languages, video info) without excess or deficiency for a transcript-focused server.
The tool set covers essential transcript retrieval and video information. Missing features like search or playlist support are outside the stated domain, so completeness is high but not maximal.
