Scored across 3 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: get_random_gif retrieves a single random GIF, get_trending_gifs fetches trending content, and search_gifs performs query-based searches. There is no overlap in functionality, making tool selection straightforward for an agent.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with 'get' or 'search' verbs and descriptive nouns (random_gif, trending_gifs, gifs). The naming is uniform and predictable across the set.
With 3 tools, the server is well-scoped for its purpose of accessing Giphy content. Each tool serves a distinct and essential function (random, trending, search), and there are no extraneous or missing tools for this domain.
The tool surface covers the core workflows for a Giphy API: retrieving random GIFs, accessing trending content, and searching by query. This provides complete coverage for typical use cases without obvious gaps or dead ends.
