Scored across 5 tools
Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose based on media type: chat, images, news, text, and videos. There is no overlap in functionality, making it easy for an agent to select the appropriate tool for each search need.
All tools follow a consistent 'ddg-[media_type]-search' pattern, with the exception of 'ddg-ai-chat' which still fits the 'ddg-[function]' convention. This uniformity makes the tool set predictable and easy to understand.
Five tools is well-scoped for a DuckDuckGo search server, covering key search types (text, image, video, news) plus an AI chat feature. Each tool earns its place without being overwhelming or insufficient.
The tool set covers major search categories effectively, but there is a minor gap in specialized searches like maps or shopping, which are common in search engines. However, core workflows are well-supported, and agents can work around this limitation.
