A3.5/5.0

Scored across 4 tools

Disambiguation3/5

The four core tools (calculate_trip_allowance, get_per_diem_rates, list_per_diem_regimes, search_per_diem_locations) have distinct purposes, but the regime entries (de-bmf, us-gsa, us-state, uk-hmrc) read like overlapping ways to produce the same allowance output as calculate_trip_allowance, so it is unclear when to call a regime tool versus the general calculator.

Naming Consistency2/5

Core tools follow a clean snake_case verb_noun pattern, but the regime tools use kebab-case codes (de-bmf, us-gsa, us-state, uk-hmrc) that are neither verb_noun nor the same convention, producing a mixed naming scheme across the set.

Tool Count4/5

A count of 4 core tools is well-scoped for a rate/allowance calculator, with each tool earning its place (compute, look up rates, list regimes, search locations); if the regime entries are separate tools the set is still within a reasonable range.

Completeness4/5

The surface covers the key lifecycle: searching locations, listing regimes, fetching rates, and computing trip allowances with fallbacks and freshness. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no batching or explicit error/reconciliation tooling), but core workflows are covered.
