Scored across 8 tools
Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose targeting specific aspects of travel information, such as arrivals, departures, disruptions, pricing, and station details. The descriptions clearly differentiate each tool's function, with no overlap that could cause agent misselection.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case, starting with 'get_' followed by a descriptive noun (e.g., get_arrivals, get_prices). This predictable naming scheme enhances readability and usability for agents.
With 8 tools, the server is well-scoped for providing comprehensive travel information, covering real-time data, disruptions, pricing, and planning. Each tool serves a distinct and necessary function without being overwhelming or insufficient.
The tool set covers most core travel information needs, including arrivals, departures, disruptions, pricing, station details, and travel advice. A minor gap exists in lacking tools for booking or managing tickets, but agents can still handle common queries effectively with the provided tools.
