Scored across 7 tools
Most tools have distinct purposes, but get_project_data and list_project_data could be confused since both involve project data; descriptions clarify but potential ambiguity remains.
All tools use consistent snake_case with 'get_' for single items and 'list_' for collections, following a predictable pattern.
7 tools is well-scoped for a research platform, covering projects, data, insights, and export without being too few or too many.
Covers core read operations (list, get, export) but lacks a global search across projects or data; minor gaps that agents can work around.
