Scored across 1 tool
Only one tool exists, so there is no ambiguity between tools.
The single tool name 'build_msbuild_project' follows a clear verb_noun pattern and is descriptive.
A single tool for building MSBuild projects is slightly under-scoped but reasonable for a focused server; additional tools like clean or list properties could be added.
The tool covers the core build operation with good configuration options, but lacks related operations such as clean or property listing, which may cause dead ends for some workflows.
