Scored across 11 tools
Most tools target a clearly distinct content source: briefs, jobs, launches, market data, Form D rounds, forecasts, essays, and wire signals are separable. The main overlap is the presence of composite tools (plan_for_project, thesis_report) that bundle what get_daily_brief, get_wire, get_rounds and get_market return individually, so an agent must decide between the aggregate and the single-source call. get_daily_brief vs get_upcoming (both drawn from approved briefs) is a smaller but real risk of confusion.
Eight of eleven tools follow a clean get_<resource> pattern (get_daily_brief, get_jobs, get_launches, get_market, get_rounds, get_upcoming, get_voices, get_wire). The remaining three — plan_for_project, thesis_report, send_feedback — deviate slightly, with thesis_report using a noun-only form while the rest are verb-led. The convention is readable and predictable overall, with only minor drift.
Eleven tools is comfortably within the well-scoped range, and each maps to a distinct signal type rather than duplicating surface area. Nothing feels padded or missing at the count level for a startup-intelligence briefing server.
The read surface covers the domain broadly — daily briefs, forecasts, launches, wire, essays, jobs, funding rounds, market data, plus an aggregation tool for project work and a feedback channel. The notable gap is a per-entity lookup: there is no tool to fetch details on a single startup or brief by id, and no search/filter across signals, forcing agents to rely on the aggregate endpoints. These are workable gaps rather than dead ends, since thesis_report and the get_* feeds cover most workflows.
