Scored across 3 tools
The tools are mostly distinct: listing available transcripts and fetching a full transcript are clearly different. However, get_transcript and get_transcript_with_time_range both fetch transcripts and could be confused, though the time-range description mitigates ambiguity.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using 'get_' and 'list_', with descriptive modifiers like 'with_time_range'. The naming is predictable and clearly maps to each tool's purpose.
With only 3 tools, the server is tightly scoped to YouTube transcript retrieval. This is an appropriate size for such a niche domain, with no unnecessary bloat.
The set covers listing languages and fetching transcripts (full and by range), but there is no explicit way to choose a specific language from the list. This creates a potential dead end where users can see available languages but not act on them.
