A4.3/5.0

Scored across 3 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct granularity: compare_county_industries focuses on a breakdown of all industries in a single county, get_county_business_patterns provides county-level data with optional industry filters (including totals for all industries), and get_state_business_summary offers state-level aggregates. Descriptions clearly differentiate their use cases.

Naming Consistency4/5

All tool names use a verb_noun pattern (compare_county_industries, get_county_business_patterns, get_state_business_summary). The only minor inconsistency is the use of 'compare' vs. 'get', but the pattern is otherwise uniform and readable.

Tool Count5/5

With only 3 tools, the set is focused and well-scoped for the Census County Business Patterns domain. Each tool provides essential functionality (state-level, county-level with filtering, and full industry breakdown), and no tool seems redundant or unnecessary.

Completeness5/5

The tools cover the core operations needed for business patterns data: state summary, county-level data with optional industry filtering, and a comprehensive industry breakdown for a county. The ability to retrieve all counties in a state via get_county_business_patterns adds flexibility, and the year parameter allows time-series access. No obvious gaps for the stated purpose of grant narratives.
