Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: calculating totals, generating PDF, generating UBL XML, and retrieving capabilities. No overlap or ambiguity.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case (e.g., generate_invoice_pdf, get_invoice_capabilities). The convention is uniform and predictable.
With 4 tools covering calculation, PDF generation, UBL generation, and capabilities, the scope is well-targeted for an invoice generation server. Each tool serves a necessary purpose without bloat.
The tool set covers the core invoice generation workflow (validation, PDF, UBL, capabilities). Missing are retrieval or management of previously generated invoices, but these are arguably outside the stated scope.
