A4.4/5.0

Scored 2026-09-14 16:45 across 3 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: calculate_tip computes amounts, get_tipping_rules retrieves guidance for a specific destination, and search_countries finds destinations. There is no functional overlap between them, so an agent can unambiguously select the right tool for each task.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern: calculate_tip, get_tipping_rules, search_countries. The verbs are specific and the nouns correspond to the resource they act on, creating a predictable and readable naming scheme.

Tool Count5/5

With 3 tools, the server is tightly scoped to the domain of tipping rules. Each tool covers a distinct core operation—searching, retrieving details, and calculating tips—so none feel redundant or missing, making the count ideal for its narrow purpose.

Completeness5/5

The tool surface fully covers the expected workflow: discover destinations via search_countries, access detailed guidance via get_tipping_rules, and apply that guidance via calculate_tip. There are no obvious dead ends or missing operations for the stated domain, making the set complete.
