A4.1/5.0
Scored across 7 tools
Disambiguation4/5
Each tool has a clear primary purpose: expensing (check_expense), plan listing (list_529_plans), plan comparison (compare_529_plans), plan detail (get_529_plan), school search (search_schools), school detail (get_school), and cost projection (estimate_college_cost). The only mild overlap is between list_529_plans and compare_529_plans, both of which surface multiple plans, but descriptions distinguish listing/ranking from explicit side-by-side comparison.
Naming Consistency5/5
All seven tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (check_expense, get_school, list_529_plans, search_schools, etc.). The numeric token in 529 names is used uniformly and remains readable.
Tool Count5/5
Seven tools is a well-scoped set for a niche domain covering plans, schools, and cost/expense logic. Each tool earns its place with no filler or redundant operations.
Completeness4/5
The surface covers the full lifecycle: discover plans (list/compare/get), find schools (search/get), project costs, and check expense eligibility. The only minor gap is that plan comparison and expense logic are not linked to a tax-benefit estimator for a specific filer's income, but agents can work around this.
