B3/5.0
Scored across 25 tools
Disambiguation4/5
Most tools have distinct purposes, such as get_sequence for sequences and get_homology for homologous genes, but some overlap exists: get_xrefs_by_gene, get_xrefs_by_symbol, and get_xrefs_by_name all handle cross-references with slight variations, which could cause minor confusion. Overall, descriptions clarify boundaries, but the xrefs tools are somewhat redundant.
Naming Consistency5/5
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern, primarily using 'get_', 'lookup_', 'map_', 'overlap_', 'search_', and 'vep_' prefixes, with snake_case throughout. This predictability makes it easy for agents to understand and navigate the tool set without naming conflicts.
Tool Count3/5
With 25 tools, the count is borderline high for a genomic data server, feeling slightly heavy but not excessive. It covers various aspects like sequences, variants, and mappings, but could potentially be streamlined by consolidating overlapping tools (e.g., the xrefs group).
Completeness5/5
The tool set provides comprehensive coverage for genomic and bioinformatics tasks, including data retrieval (e.g., genes, sequences, variants), mapping between coordinates, ontology and taxonomy lookups, and variant prediction with VEP. There are no obvious gaps; it supports full lifecycle operations from search to analysis.
