Scored across 10 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: searching, retrieving single items, listing collections/tags/saved searches, generating bibliographies, and resolving attachment paths. There is no overlap or ambiguity between them.
All tool names follow a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern (e.g., get_bibliography, search_items, list_collections, execute_saved_search). The verbs are semantically appropriate and the naming is predictable.
With 10 tools, the set is well-scoped for a local Zotero MCP. It covers the primary read and search operations without unnecessary bloat, and each tool serves a functional need.
The tool set thoroughly covers read access to a Zotero library: searching, retrieving items, navigating collections/tags/saved searches, generating bibliographies, and locating attachment files. The only notable gap is the lack of write operations (create/update/delete), but the server appears intentionally read-only, so this is a minor limitation.
