A3.7/5.0

Scored across 4 tools

Disambiguation3/5

border_lane_insights and border_rules_status are clearly distinct, but border_quote and door_cost_estimate both estimate duties, tariffs, taxes, and fees for Canada-US goods movement. The descriptions differentiate scope (freight/multi-modal vs. single parcel at the door), yet an agent could still reasonably reach for either when asked 'what will this cost?'

Naming Consistency4/5

Three tools follow a border_* prefix and all names use consistent snake_case noun phrasing. door_cost_estimate breaks the border_ prefix pattern, but the overall set remains predictable and readable.

Tool Count4/5

Four tools is a reasonable, focused surface for a border-cost domain, covering rules status, quoting, at-door estimates, and real-world lane data. The only concern is that two of the four tools overlap enough that one might be redundant.

Completeness4/5

The surface covers checking current rules, generating quotes, estimating shopper at-door costs, and consulting real reports, which is solid coverage for the domain. Minor gaps exist, such as no dedicated tariff-code classification lookup or quote comparison/save operation, but agents can work around these.
