    Scored across 6 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool has a distinct purpose: feeds, item retrieval, comment threads, search, user profiles, and user submissions. No overlapping functionality that would cause confusion.

    Naming Consistency4/5

    Most tools follow a clear verb_noun pattern (list_stories, get_item, get_comments, get_user, get_user_submissions). The lone 'search' is a valid verb but lacks a noun, making it a slight deviation from the pattern.

    Tool Count5/5

    Six tools is well-scoped for a Hacker News reader, covering browsing, retrieval, search, and user-related queries without over-expanding the surface.

    Completeness4/5

    The read-only surface is solid, covering stories, items, comments, search, and user data. Minor gaps exist around fetching a comment thread directly from a comment ID and write operations, but these are reasonable omissions for a typical HN MCP.
