C2.9/5.0

Scored across 26 tools

Disambiguation3/5

Most tools target distinct domains, but several overlap in cost/price aggregation: costs_by_area, costs_by_emirate, fixed_monthly_costs, and move_to_dubai can be confused, as can grocery_products, ministry_shop_prices, shopper_price_reports, and grocery_compare_list. Detailed caveats in descriptions help, but an agent must read carefully to pick the right source.

Naming Consistency4/5

All tool names use snake_case and are generally descriptive, which is consistent. However, the set mixes noun-centric names (housing_rents, fuel_prices) with verb/action phrases (start_here, move_to_dubai) and has minor singular/plural variation (schools vs dewa).

Tool Count3/5

At 26 tools, the server is heavy for agent selection. The broad UAE cost-of-living domain justifies many tools, but multiple price/cost aggregators and meta tools could likely be consolidated or made more discoverable.

Completeness4/5

The surface covers core cost-of-living categories: housing rents/sales, utilities, transport, groceries, schools, health insurance, visas, labour, taxes, mobile/internet, free zones, and FX. Minor gaps remain around full household budgeting and categories like dining, childcare, or entertainment.
