Scored across 2 tools
The two tools have completely distinct purposes: one lists all holidays for a country and year, the other checks a single date. There is no overlap or ambiguity between them.
Both names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with lower_snake_case. 'get_public_holidays' and 'is_public_holiday' are clear and predictable, even though they use different verbs appropriate to their actions.
With only two tools, the server feels thin, falling into the 'borderline' category. However, the count is reasonable for the narrow domain of public holiday lookups.
The domain is fully covered with the two core operations: listing all holidays and checking a specific date. As a read-only service, there are no obvious gaps or missing operations.
