    A3.6/5.0

    Scored across 10 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool targets a distinct resource-action pair: videos, channels, playlists, subscriptions, watch history, and likes are cleanly separated. Even the read operations are unambiguous because they operate on different objects.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tool names follow a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern, such as search_videos, get_channel_info, subscribe_channel, and add_to_playlist. There are no mixed conventions or vague verbs.

    Tool Count5/5

    Ten tools is well within the ideal 3–15 range and appropriately scopes YouTube search, channel browsing, playlist access, subscriptions, watch history, and engagement actions without being bloated.

    Completeness3/5

    Core browsing/search workflows are covered, but the action set has lifecycle gaps: there is no create_playlist or remove_from_playlist even though add_to_playlist exists, and no unsubscribe or unlike counterparts to subscribe_channel and like_video. Upload and comment operations are absent, leaving some user-action workflows with dead ends.
