Scored across 3 tools
Each tool has a distinct target: HIG, technical docs, or unified search. The unified tool overlaps but serves a combined purpose, so there is slight potential for confusion, but overall they are clearly distinguishable.
All tools follow a consistent 'search_<descriptive_suffix>' pattern, making it easy for agents to predict and understand tool purposes.
With only three tools, the server is well-scoped for its purpose of searching Apple documentation, avoiding unnecessary complexity while covering key search scenarios.
The set covers both major documentation areas (HIG and technical) with individual and unified search. Minor gaps like sample code search exist but are outside the stated scope.
