    A4/5.0

    Scored across 3 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool has a clearly distinct output type and input: screenshot_url captures web pages as images, screenshot_html renders HTML to images, and generate_pdf produces PDFs from either URL or HTML. The names unambiguously indicate the result format, so an agent can easily select the right tool.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All three tools use a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern. The slight variation between 'screenshot' and 'generate' verbs is natural and does not break the predictable structure.

    Tool Count5/5

    Three tools cover the core purpose without redundancy: two input types for images and one combined tool for PDF output. This minimal set is well-scoped and each tool earns its place.

    Completeness5/5

    The surface covers all key combinations: URL to image, HTML to image, and URL/HTML to PDF. No obvious operations are missing for a screenshot and PDF generation service.
