Scored across 6 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: authentication (login), discovery (get_trending_pastes), creation (create_paste), listing (list_user_pastes), deletion (delete_paste), and lifecycle (stop). There is no meaningful overlap between any two tools, so an agent can easily select the right one.
Most tools follow a clean verb_noun pattern (get_trending_pastes, create_paste, list_user_pastes, delete_paste), which is highly predictable. However, login and stop are bare verbs that break the pattern, a minor deviation.
Six tools is well within the sweet spot and each maps to a real operation in the Pastebin domain (auth, discovery, CRUD-ish paste management, shutdown). No tool feels redundant or padded.
Core lifecycle is present (login, create, list, delete, trending), but there is no tool to retrieve/view a specific paste by key or URL, which is a fundamental read operation for a Pastebin server. This notable gap will force agents to work around the missing read capability.
