Scored across 3 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: listing courses, listing files within a course, and searching within a file. There is no overlap or ambiguity.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with lowercase and hyphens (list-courses, list-course-files, search-course-file), making them predictable and easy to understand.
With 3 tools, the set is well-scoped for the server's purpose: listing courses, browsing files, and searching content. It is neither too sparse nor overloaded.
The tools cover the essential operations for a course material retrieval system: discover courses, list files, and search within files. No obvious gaps for the intended read-only use case.
