Scored across 5 tools
Each tool targets a distinct phase (planning guidance, hotel discovery, live rates, booking, static facts), and descriptions explicitly steer usage (e.g. 'quote get_rates, not search prices'). There is mild overlap between search_hotels, get_hotel and get_rates since all three surface hotel data, but the static/live/discovery boundaries are clearly drawn.
All five tools follow a clean verb_noun snake_case pattern (get_planning_guide, search_hotels, get_rates, create_booking, get_hotel). No mixed conventions or vague standalone verbs.
Five tools is a lean but sensible surface for a search-and-book flow, and each earns its place. It sits near the thin end for a booking domain, but nothing is redundant.
The search → rates → book path is covered, plus static facts and a planning guide. However there is no way to cancel, modify, or retrieve existing bookings/orders, and create_booking itself states it does not cancel or modify, leaving agents at a dead end for post-booking lifecycle operations.
