    Scored across 77 tools

    Disambiguation4/5

    Most tools target distinct objects or actions, but there is potential confusion between 'execute_kicad_tool' and 'run_kicad_action', as well as among the many getter/list tools like 'get_board_info' vs 'get_board_size'. Overall, the descriptions clarify differences, keeping ambiguity low.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    The naming follows a consistent verb_noun pattern (e.g., add_board_outline, export_gerbers, list_nets). Minor exceptions like 'ping_kicad' and 'hit_test' are still intuitive and do not break the overall pattern.

    Tool Count3/5

    With 77 tools, this is a very large set for a single server. While the comprehensive PCB design domain justifies many operations, the count feels heavy and could overwhelm agents. Some tools are highly specific (e.g., refill_zones, set_board_origin), making the set borderline appropriate.

    Completeness5/5

    The tool set covers the full PCB design lifecycle: adding elements, editing, querying, exporting, and project management. It includes both high-level operations and detailed settings, leaving no obvious dead ends for common PCB editing tasks.
