Scored across 10 tools
Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no ambiguity. Tools target specific resources (instances, apps, docs) and actions (create, get, delete, patch, restore, ask), making it easy for an agent to select the correct one. For example, get_instance and get_all_instances are clearly differentiated by scope, and create_instance vs. patch_instance vs. restore_instance cover distinct lifecycle stages.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case, with verbs like get, create, delete, patch, restore, and ask paired with specific nouns (instance, app, schema, tembo). The pattern is uniform across all 10 tools, making them predictable and easy to understand at a glance.
With 10 tools, the count is well-scoped for managing Tembo instances and related resources. Each tool earns its place by covering essential CRUD operations, lifecycle management, and auxiliary functions like schema retrieval and documentation queries, without being overly sparse or bloated.
The tool set provides complete coverage for the domain of managing Tembo instances and apps. It includes full CRUD operations for instances (create, get, patch, delete) and apps (get, get_all), plus lifecycle actions like restore and schema retrieval, with no obvious gaps that would hinder agent workflows.
