A4.1/5.0

Scored across 13 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct resource and action (wants, responses, alerts, categories, search/new feeds). The only near-pairs (get_responses vs my_responses; search_wants vs whats_new) are clearly differentiated by perspective and time in descriptions. No two tools appear to do the same thing.

Naming Consistency4/5

Most names follow a verb_noun pattern (close_want, delete_alert, list_alerts, post_want, etc.), which is predictable. However, my_responses, my_wants (possessive noun phrases) and whats_new break the verb_noun pattern, creating minor inconsistency.

Tool Count5/5

13 tools is well-scoped for a wanted-ads marketplace, covering buyer and seller flows, alerts, and categories without excess. Each tool has a clear place in the set.

Completeness4/5

Core lifecycle is covered: post/close/list own wants, search/list new wants, respond/reply, manage responses, alerts, categories. Minor gaps exist: no explicit renew_want despite the description mentioning renewal, and no update_want/edit operation, but agents can work around by closing and reposting.
