Each tool targets a clearly distinct purpose: subway_route plans a trip, subway_station retrieves station metadata, korea_holidays handles public holiday queries, and korea_guide provides topical guides. There is no overlap in intent, so an agent can easily select the right tool.
All tool names follow a consistent snake_case pattern with a domain prefix and a noun (subway_route, subway_station, korea_holidays, korea_guide). The convention is predictable and readable throughout.
Four tools fall comfortably within the ideal 3–15 range, and each earns its place by covering a distinct aspect of the Korea travel domain. The set is focused without feeling thin or bloated.
The surface covers core subway navigation, station lookup, holidays, and practical guide topics, which handles many visitor needs. However, broader Korea coverage (e.g., buses, intercity rail, weather) is absent, leaving minor gaps that agents may need to work around.
