Scored across 2 tools
The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: one lists metadata about assets, the other downloads asset content. An agent can easily tell which to invoke based on whether it needs information or the file itself.
Both names follow a clean verb_noun pattern (list_release_assets, download_release_asset) with consistent snake_case and a shared 'release_asset' subject. There is no stylistic deviation.
Two tools is very thin for a server named gh-release-mcp, which implies release management rather than just asset handling. The surface feels like a narrow slice of the domain rather than a complete toolkit.
The server covers listing and downloading release assets but omits core release lifecycle operations: listing releases, creating/deleting releases, and uploading assets. Agents needing anything beyond download will hit dead ends.
