Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a distinct purpose: credits, conversion initiation, job status checking, and listing supported formats. No overlap in functionality.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case, making them predictable and easy to understand.
Four tools is appropriate for a PDF conversion service, covering the essential operations without being excessive or insufficient.
The tool set covers core operations: checking credits, initiating conversions, checking status, and listing formats. A minor gap is the lack of a cancel job tool, but the set is largely complete for typical workflows.
