Scored across 2 tools
The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: search_ebay discovers listings, while get_item_details retrieves full details for a specific item. No overlap or ambiguity in their roles.
Both names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case (search_ebay, get_item_details), making them predictable and readable.
With only 2 tools, the server feels thin for a domain as broad as eBay, but the two tools cover a basic search-and-detail workflow without redundancy.
The surface covers search and retrieval of item details, sufficient for a browsing use case, but lacks advanced features like pagination, seller-specific queries, or listing operations. There are notable gaps for more complex workflows.
