Scored across 12 tools
Each tool has a clear, distinct purpose. Batch operations are separate from single operations, and label management functions are all distinct (create, delete, list, apply, remove). No two tools are easily confused.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case. Verbs are imperative and descriptive, and the naming scheme is uniform across the set.
12 tools is appropriate for a Gmail management server. It covers essential operations (auth, search, read, delete, label management) without being overwhelming or too sparse.
The tool set covers core Gmail operations but has notable gaps: no send email, no mark as read/unread, and no trash or undo capabilities. The create_reply tool only generates a draft URL, not full send. These gaps may hinder some workflows.
