The tools have mostly distinct purposes: find_recipe_files searches by filename, get_recipe_var_raw extracts a specific variable, parse_recipe_file parses all variables in a file, and scan_layer_recipe_files lists files in a layer. However, find_recipe_files and scan_layer_recipe_files both involve listing recipe files, which could cause some confusion about when to use each.

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case, such as find_recipe_files, get_recipe_var_raw, parse_recipe_file, and scan_layer_recipe_files. This uniformity makes the set predictable and easy to understand.

With 4 tools, the count is reasonable for a BitBake/Yocto-focused server, allowing for basic operations like searching, parsing, and listing. It might be slightly thin for advanced workflows, but it covers core needs without being overwhelming.

The tools provide good coverage for reading and parsing recipe files, but there are notable gaps for actions like evaluating variables, modifying recipes, or handling dependencies. This limits the server to inspection tasks, missing key operations for a full BitBake toolset.
