Scored across 7 tools
The tool names suggest distinct operations: create, get, update, delete for individual notes, list for enumeration, search for querying, and sync for external integration. Some overlap exists between get/list/search, but the verbs indicate different intents.
All tools follow the exact pattern kb_<verb>, using the same namespace and consistent verb style. This creates a predictable and easily navigable API.
Seven tools is well-scoped for a knowledge base server, covering CRUD plus search, list, and sync without unnecessary redundancy.
The set covers core CRUD, querying, and synchronization for an Obsidian-style knowledge base. Missing advanced operations like move or batch, but the main lifecycle is fully represented.
