Scored across 7 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose with explicit cross-references to sibling tools ('No sibling tool overlaps', 'Use resolveIdentifier instead when...'). The single/batch distinction between verifyCitation and auditBibliography is well-defined, and the metadata vs. formatted-string vs. file-export distinction among resolveIdentifier/formatCitation/exportCitation is unambiguous.
All seven tools follow a consistent verb_noun camelCase pattern: verifyCitation, auditBibliography, checkRetraction, checkOpenAccess, resolveIdentifier, formatCitation, exportCitation. The repeated 'check' prefix across two tools is purposeful since they are parallel status-check operations.
Seven tools is well within the ideal 3-15 range and each tool earns its place in the scholarly citation workflow: verification (single + batch), retraction/OA status checks, identifier resolution, citation formatting, and export. No redundancy or bloat.
The identifier-centric workflow is well covered: resolve → verify (single/batch) → format → export, plus retraction and OA status checks. Minor gaps exist: no title-based search tool (the server requires an identifier to start), no batch counterpart to checkOpenAccess (agents must loop), and no standalone batch retraction check outside auditBibliography.
