Each tool targets a distinct operation: search performs discovery, get_document retrieves full content by id, and status reports index health. There is no overlap in purpose or selection ambiguity.

All tools share the same localgate_ prefix and use snake_case consistently. The verb/noun structure (search, get_document) is predictable, with only status being a natural noun exception.

Three tools is well-scoped for a focused local search server. Each tool covers a core need—querying, retrieving, and monitoring the index—without redundant or bloated operations.

The surface covers the essential read-only lifecycle: searching, fetching a document by id, and checking index status. Minor gaps like listing available documents or triggering a reindex may exist, but agents can work around them via search.
