Scored across 6 tools
Each tool has a distinct purpose: get_top_trends is the only keyword-free live board feed, get_reviews is the only review/sentiment source, and get_usage is account-only. The remaining trio (get_context, get_growth, get_time_series) all operate on a keyword across sources and share nearly identical cost boilerplate, but the descriptions explicitly cross-reference each other to steer selection (e.g. growth vs. series for charting, context for social posts), keeping confusion limited.
All six tools follow an identical pattern: a namespace prefix plus get_<noun> (get_context, get_growth, get_reviews, get_time_series, get_top_trends, get_usage). No mixed casing or verb styles.
Six tools is well within the well-scoped range, and each maps to a distinct capability (context, growth, series, boards, reviews, account status). No obvious filler or redundancy.
The surface covers the core domain well: discovery of trends, keyword context, historical series, growth, reviews, and quota checking. Minor gaps exist around discovering what sources/boards/data types are available and comparing multiple keywords, which an agent would have to infer from the long descriptions rather than probe directly.

trends___get_top_trendsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect

If the requested board is not in the database yet (for example a country that is not collected on the schedule), the board is fetched live. App Store Top Free, App Store Top Paid, and Google Play are live store boards, not keyword lookups. App history is available via get_growth or get_time_series with source App Downloads or App Rankings and an Android bundle ID. Live boards are only available here, not via get_time_series.
