Scored across 11 tools
Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose focused on specific operations in Excalidraw, such as creation, deletion, alignment, distribution, grouping, locking, querying, and updating. There is no overlap or ambiguity between tools like 'create_element' and 'update_element' or 'lock_elements' and 'unlock_elements', making misselection unlikely.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case, such as 'create_element', 'delete_element', and 'group_elements'. The naming is predictable and readable throughout, with no deviations in style or convention.
With 11 tools, the server is well-scoped for managing Excalidraw elements, covering essential operations like CRUD, grouping, alignment, and locking. Each tool earns its place without feeling excessive or insufficient for the domain.
The tool set provides complete coverage for Excalidraw element management, including full CRUD (create, query, update, delete), lifecycle operations (lock/unlock, group/ungroup), and layout utilities (align, distribute). There are no obvious gaps that would cause agent failures in this domain.
