Scored across 10 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose, with no overlapping functions. Compare_old_new, explore_legal_chain, get_article_history, and search variants handle different aspects of legal research without ambiguity.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (e.g., compare_old_new, explore_legal_chain, read_legal_resource, search_korean_law), with no mixing of styles.
With 10 tools, the server is well-scoped for a legal research assistant. Each tool provides essential functionality without being excessive or insufficient.
The tool set covers searching, reading, comparison, history, attachments, terms, interpretations, and external links. A minor gap is the inability to retrieve the full text of a specific older version directly, but agents can work around this using revision history and comparison.
