Scored across 14 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose targeting specific note or label operations with no ambiguity. For example, 'add_label_to_note' and 'remove_label_from_note' are complementary but distinct actions, while 'get_note_labels' and 'set_note_labels' serve different query vs. modification functions.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case throughout, such as 'create_note', 'delete_label', and 'list_notes'. The naming is predictable and readable, with no deviations in style or convention across the set.

Tool Count5/5

With 14 tools, this server is well-scoped for a notes management domain, covering CRUD operations for notes and labels, plus additional utilities like archiving and pinning. Each tool earns its place without feeling excessive or insufficient for the apparent functionality.

Completeness5/5

The tool set provides complete CRUD/lifecycle coverage for notes and labels, including creation, retrieval, updating, deletion, listing, and specialized actions like archiving and pinning. There are no obvious gaps, and agents can handle full workflows without dead ends.
