Scored across 6 tools
The tools get_document and read_document are nearly identical—both retrieve full document content by ID—causing clear ambiguity. Other tools are distinct, but this overlap creates confusion over which to use.
Tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (search_, get_, list_, read_, update_). However, the use of both 'get' and 'read' for the same operation is a minor inconsistency that disrupts the pattern.
With 6 tools, the server is well-scoped for a document/knowledge base management purpose. Each tool, apart from the get/read duplication, occupies a clear functional role, and the count is neither sparse nor bloated.
The surface covers search, listing, reading, and updating documents, but lacks create and delete operations. This is a significant gap for a document management server, as users cannot add or remove documents through the tools.
