Scored across 50 tools
Several tools have overlapping or unclear boundaries, such as run-script vs execute-script, apply-effect vs add-any-effect, and check-bridge vs run-bridge-test. Multiple help tools (get-help, mcp_aftereffects_get_effects_help) and rendering tools (start-render, render-aerender) could confuse an agent. The descriptions help but the overlaps are significant enough to cause misselection.
Most tool names follow a kebab-case verb-noun pattern (e.g., create-composition, list-layer-effects), but there are notable inconsistencies: setLayerKeyframe and setLayerExpression use camelCase, and mcp_aftereffects_get_effects_help uses snake_case with a prefix. While still readable, the mixed conventions are more than minor deviations.
With 50 tools, the set is very large and exceeds the 25+ threshold for 'too many'. While After Effects is complex, many tools overlap (e.g., three ways to apply effects, two script runners, two render methods), inflating the count. A more focused set of ~20-30 tools would likely cover the same functionality with less redundancy.
The tool set covers a broad range of After Effects operations: compositions, layers, effects, presets, text, audio, animation, inspection, and rendering. Minor gaps exist, such as no direct tool for listing all compositions or deleting a composition, but these can be worked around via execute-script, and the overall lifecycle is well covered.
