Scored across 2 tools
The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: one searches for APIs using a query string, and the other retrieves detailed information by a specific ID. There is no overlap or ambiguity.
Both tool names follow the consistent verb_noun pattern ('search_public_apis', 'get_public_api_details'), making them predictable and easy to understand.
With only 2 tools, the server is slightly under-scoped for a general 'Public APIs' domain. However, the two tools cover the essential operations of search and detail retrieval, which may be sufficient for the intended use case.
The tool set covers the core functionalities of searching and getting details for public APIs. While missing operations like listing all APIs or browsing categories, the search tool effectively mitigates those gaps, making the surface reasonably complete.
