Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct target: full-text OCR search of newspaper pages, catalogue metadata search, single-record retrieval by identifier, and enumeration of digital collections. The descriptions actively steer between the two search tools ('Use search_items instead when looking for a work by its title...' / 'use search_newspapers for a phrase printed on a newspaper page'), leaving no realistic misselection risk.
All four names follow a strict verb_noun snake_case pattern: search_newspapers, search_items, get_item, list_collections. The two search_* tools differ only by their noun, which mirrors the actual distinction in behaviour.
Four tools map cleanly onto the essential operations (search two corpora, fetch a record, discover collections) with no filler. It is on the lean side — there is no dedicated enumeration or browse surface — but every tool present earns its place.
The core lifecycle is covered: discover collections, search catalogue records, search newspaper page text, then resolve an identifier into a full record with sections for citations and resources. Minor gaps exist (no newspaper-title or issue-level enumeration, subjects/facets only usable as filters), but agents can work around them via search and paging.
