Scored across 1 tool
Only one tool exists, so there is no risk of misselection or overlapping purpose; an agent cannot confuse it with another tool.
The sole tool uses clear snake_case with a descriptive noun/verb structure (gemini_search); no inconsistency is possible with a single tool.
A single search tool is reasonable for a narrowly scoped web-search server, though it is below the typical 3–15 range and could feel thin if broader search operations are expected.
The tool covers the core web-search operation and returns current facts, docs, news, and sources, but it lacks advanced parameters (e.g., result count, filters, pagination) that a full search surface might offer.
