Scored across 7 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose targeting specific operations in ArangoDB: backup, collection creation, document insertion, listing collections, query execution, document removal, and document update. There is no overlap or ambiguity between these functions.
All tools follow a consistent 'arango_verb_noun' pattern with snake_case, such as arango_backup, arango_create_collection, and arango_query. This predictable naming makes it easy to understand and navigate the tool set.
With 7 tools, this server is well-scoped for database operations, covering essential CRUD actions, querying, and backup. Each tool earns its place without feeling too sparse or bloated.
The tool set provides strong coverage for core database operations, including CRUD for documents, collection management, and querying. A minor gap is the lack of tools for more advanced features like index management or user administration, but agents can handle basic workflows effectively.
