Scored across 4 tools
Each tool targets a distinct purpose: browsing translations, listing books, retrieving a specific passage, or fetching a full chapter. There is no overlap or ambiguity between them.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (list_bibles, list_books, get_passage, get_chapter), making the set predictable and easy to navigate.
With 4 tools, the server feels well-scoped for its purpose. While minimal, it covers browsing and reading operations without unnecessary bloat. One or two additional tools (e.g., search) could be expected but not required.
The server covers basic lookup workflows (list translations, list books, retrieve passages/chapters), but lacks search, cross-reference, or note capabilities. Users can successfully read verses but may encounter dead ends for discovery beyond hierarchical listing.
