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?'
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.
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.
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.
