Scored across 10 tools
Each tool targets a distinct resource or action, such as downloading games, retrieving club info, or checking online status. There is no overlap or ambiguity between tool purposes.
All tool names follow a clear verb_noun pattern using underscores (e.g., get_player_profile, download_player_games_pgn). The verbs (download, get, is) and nouns are consistently structured.
With 10 tools, the set is well-scoped for a Chess.com data retrieval server. It covers player data, clubs, and utilities without being too sparse or overwhelming.
The tool surface covers core read operations for players, clubs, and games. Minor gaps exist, such as missing tools for live ratings or tournament data, but the set is largely complete for typical queries.
