Scored across 10 tools
Each tool has a distinct purpose with no overlap: port management (list/open/close/status), and specific MIDI message types (note on/off, CC, pitch bend, program change, sysex). The descriptions clearly differentiate them, eliminating any ambiguity.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case (e.g., list_midi_ports, send_note_on). The verbs are appropriate and predictable across the set, making the naming highly consistent.
With 10 tools, this server is well-scoped for MIDI operations. It covers essential port management and a comprehensive set of MIDI message types, with each tool serving a clear and necessary function in the domain.
The tool set provides complete coverage for basic MIDI output: port lifecycle (list, open, close, status) and all standard message types (note on/off, CC, pitch bend, program change, sysex). There are no obvious gaps for the stated purpose.
