| get_book_infoA | Title, author, license, free-copy link, usage note, and table of contents of Democracy Without Politicians by Terry Bouricius. |
| list_chaptersA | List all 17 chapters with their numbers and titles. |
| get_chapterA | Return a chapter's verbatim text by number (1-17) or title substring. Long chapters paginate via offset/nextOffset. |
| search_contentA | Keyword search across the full book text; returns the most relevant verbatim paragraphs with their chapter. Use for 'what does Bouricius say about X' questions. |
| get_principlesA | Key topics/arguments in the book as curated entry points. Each returns a VERBATIM excerpt in the author's own words plus its chapter — not a summary. Use get_chapter or search_content to read further. |
| get_multi_body_designA | Bouricius's signature 'multi-body sortition' reference design (Chapter 16): the seven specialised randomly-selected bodies (Agenda Council, Interest Panels, Review Panels, Policy Juries, Coordination Council, Rules Council, Oversight Councils), each with a VERBATIM excerpt from the book. |

Each tool has a distinct purpose: metadata retrieval, chapter access, specific design explanation, topic-based excerpts, chapter listing, and full-text search. No overlap in functionality.
All tools follow a verb_noun pattern (get_*, list_*, search_*), with consistent use of underscores and descriptive nouns. No mixing of conventions.
Six tools cover the essential operations for a book reference server: metadata, chapter access, topic exploration, and search. The count is neither too sparse nor excessive.
The tool set provides full navigation: metadata, chapter listing, verbatim chapter content, curated principle excerpts, and keyword search. No obvious gaps for accessing the book's content.
