Scored across 4 tools
Each tool targets a distinct operation: listing, creating, updating, or commenting on issues. No two tools overlap in purpose, so an agent can clearly distinguish them.
All tool names follow a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern (list_issues, create_issue, update_issue, add_comment). The verbs are clear and predictable.
With 4 tools, the server is tightly scoped to core Kanban board operations. Every tool serves a necessary function without redundancy or bloat.
The basic lifecycle of issues is covered (list, create, update, comment). Missing operations like deleting or archiving issues are a minor gap since GitHub issues are typically closed rather than deleted, but board-specific transitions are not explicitly exposed.
