Scored across 7 tools
Each tool targets a distinct CTFtime resource: event details, event listing, results, team info, top teams (overall and by country), and votes. No overlapping functionality.
All tools follow the 'ctftime_' prefix with underscore-separated lowercase names. While verbs are not uniform (e.g., 'event' vs 'events', 'top_by_country'), the pattern is predictable and consistent.
Seven tools cover the core read operations for CTFtime without being excessive. The number feels well-scoped for a focused data retrieval server.
The tool set covers essential queries: single event, list events, results, team info, top teams, and votes. Minor gaps like search or filtering by year in some tools are not critical.
