A3.6/5.0

Scored across 3 tools

Disambiguation4/5

buses_from is clearly origin-side route discovery, and search_buses is clearly the date-specific live search. route_info and search_buses both return departures for a route, so they are the one confusable pair, but the descriptions explicitly draw the line ('no date needed; live seats on a specific date come from search_buses').

Naming Consistency3/5

All snake_case and readable, but the conventions are mixed: buses_from and route_info are noun-first resource names while search_buses is verb_noun. There is no single predictable pattern an agent can guess a new tool name from.

Tool Count4/5

Three tools is on the lean side but each maps to a distinct stage of the workflow: discover routes from a town, inspect a route's timetable, then search live departures for a date. Nothing appears redundant or padded.

Completeness4/5

The lookup lifecycle (discovery → static timetable → live departures with booking_url and map) is covered, with payment intentionally handed off to bestbus.me. Minor gaps remain, such as searching by destination only or browsing stations/operators, which agents must work around via route_info.
