Scored across 3 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: get_strategy retrieves a random strategy, list_editions provides metadata about available editions, and search_strategies finds strategies by keywords. There is no overlap in functionality, and an agent can easily distinguish between them.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (get_strategy, list_editions, search_strategies) with clear, descriptive verbs. The naming is uniform and predictable throughout the set.
With 3 tools, this server is well-scoped for its purpose of accessing Oblique Strategies. Each tool earns its place by covering essential operations: retrieving random strategies, listing editions, and searching. This count is appropriate and avoids bloat.
The tool surface is complete for the domain of accessing and querying Oblique Strategies. It covers random retrieval, metadata listing, and keyword search across editions, with no obvious gaps. Agents can perform all core workflows without dead ends.
