Scored across 2 tools
The two tools serve clearly distinct purposes: one fetches full transcript content, the other lists available transcripts without content. No overlap.
Both tools follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern: get_transcript and list_transcripts.
Two tools is minimal but appropriate for a focused read-only transcript service. Could add more but not needed.
The tool set covers the essential operations: listing available transcripts and retrieving one. No gaps for the stated purpose.
