Scored across 6 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: compare_prices does side-by-side comparison, get_affiliate_link provides affiliate links, get_catalog lists categories, get_price shows merchant prices, get_product fetches details, search_products searches catalog. No overlapping functionality.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., compare_prices, search_products). The naming is predictable and easy to understand.
With 6 tools, the set is well-scoped for a price comparison and affiliate linking service. Each tool serves a necessary function without unnecessary bloat.
Core workflows are covered: search, get details, compare, get prices, affiliate links, and category discovery. Minor gaps like lack of explicit filtering or sorting in search are acceptable for the scope.
