Scored across 34 tools
Most tools have distinct purposes, but there is some potential confusion between obsidian_search and obsidian_search_context, and between obsidian_get_backlinks and obsidian_get_links. Overall, descriptions are clear enough for an agent to differentiate.
All tools follow a consistent 'obsidian_verb_noun' snake_case pattern, making it predictable and easy to infer function from name.
With 34 tools, the server is over-scoped for typical MCP usage. While it covers many aspects of Obsidian, the high number suggests potential for splitting into specialized servers, and many tools (e.g., development utilities) may be unnecessary for most agents.
The tool set covers core note operations, search, tags, links, and daily notes well, but lacks explicit tools for creating folders, deleting tags, or handling attachments, leaving notable gaps in domain coverage.
