Scored across 3 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: fetching top stories, searching by query, and listing available feeds/categories. There is no realistic confusion between broad summaries, targeted search, or feed metadata.
All tool names follow a consistent lowercase snake_case verb_noun pattern: get_news_summary, search_news, and list_news_feeds. The naming is predictable and easy to pattern-match.
Three tools is well-scoped for a focused news RSS server. Each tool covers a distinct user need without redundancy or wasted surface area.
The core news workflows—listing available sources, getting a ranked summary, and searching stories—are covered. The main minor gap is that list_news_feeds advertises categories/endpoints but there is no explicit tool to fetch news from a specific category directly.
