Scored across 3 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: calculate_file_hash for local file processing, search_subtitles for finding subtitles via API, and download_subtitle for retrieving specific subtitle files. There is no overlap in functionality, making tool selection unambiguous for an agent.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case naming (calculate_file_hash, download_subtitle, search_subtitles). The naming is predictable and readable throughout the set.
With only 3 tools, the server feels thin for the OpenSubtitles domain, which typically involves more operations like uploading subtitles, managing user accounts, or handling subtitle formats. While core functions are covered, the count is borderline minimal.
The tools cover the essential workflow: hash calculation for identification, searching for subtitles, and downloading them. However, there are minor gaps such as no upload or management tools, which agents might need for full subtitle lifecycle coverage but can work around.
