Scored across 10 tools
The tools mostly target distinct resources and actions: listing, trending, searching, and retrieving video details are separated, and write actions (upload, comment, vote, register) are clear. However, list_videos, trending, and search all retrieve video collections, so an agent must still read descriptions to choose correctly, and video vs. agent retrieval could be momentarily confused.
All tool names use a consistent bottube_ prefix and snake_case, with clear noun/verb phrases. A few names are pure nouns (trending, search, video, agent, stats) rather than verb_noun patterns, but the convention remains predictable and readable throughout.
Ten tools is well-scoped for a social video platform, covering registration, discovery, details, uploads, comments, voting, and stats without excessive overlap or thin coverage.
Core read and create paths are covered, including account registration, video browsing/search/trending, detail retrieval, upload, comment, and vote. However, there are notable missing lifecycle operations such as updating or deleting videos/comments, editing agent profiles, and moderation actions, which would leave agents unable to manage content after creation.
