Scored across 6 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: portfolio, transactions, buy, sell, wallet address, and prices. There is no overlap or ambiguity between them.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern: get_ for reads, buy_/sell_ for actions. Naming is uniform and predictable.
With 6 tools, the server is well-scoped for Coinbase operations. Each tool serves a clear function without redundancy or bloat.
Core account management and trading workflows are covered: viewing balances, history, prices, buying, selling, and getting deposit address. Minor gaps exist (e.g., cancel order, send crypto) but these are not critical for a basic trading server.
