Scored across 8 tools
Each tool targets a distinct aspect of the PDF specification: version comparison, definitions, requirements, sections, structure, tables, listing specs, and searching. No overlap in purpose.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., get_section, search_spec). There is no mixing of conventions.
With 8 tools, the set is well-scoped for exploring and comparing PDF specifications. Each tool serves a clear function without being excessive or insufficient.
The tool surface covers common operations for a reference document: listing, searching, retrieving structure, content, tables, definitions, requirements, and version comparison. No obvious gaps for its read-only domain.
