Scored across 5 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no ambiguity: add_book, delete_book, list_books, search_books, and update_book_status each target specific operations in the library domain. The descriptions reinforce this clarity, such as list_books filtering unread books and update_book_status handling status changes, preventing misselection.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case (e.g., add_book, delete_book, list_books). There are no deviations in style or convention, making the set predictable and easy to understand for an agent.
With 5 tools, this server is well-scoped for a personal library domain. Each tool earns its place by covering core operations like adding, deleting, listing, searching, and updating books, without being overly sparse or bloated.
The tool set provides strong coverage for basic CRUD operations in a library context, including create (add_book), read (list_books, search_books), update (update_book_status), and delete (delete_book). A minor gap is the lack of a tool for editing book details beyond status (e.g., title or author), but agents can work around this with the existing tools.
