The set splits cleanly into judge_* (no-hardware judging of already-captured data), check_* (capture + judge in one call), and capture_ws2812 (capture only), and descriptions explicitly guide selection (e.g. check_ws2812 is 'the one-shot an agent reaches for'). Minor overlap remains between judge_contract (timing contract) and judge_events (events contract) and judge_serial, but each is scoped to a distinct contract kind or data source so boundaries are mostly clear.

All names use a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern (list_, judge_, capture_, check_). The only wrinkle is semantic: capture_ws2812 and check_ws2812 both 'capture' the WS2812 line but use different verbs, and there is no capture_dshot/capture_serial to mirror capture_ws2812, creating mild asymmetry despite uniform formatting.

Eight tools is well within the ideal 3-15 range and each family (list, judge, capture, check) covers a genuine need. Slight redundancy exists since capture_ws2812 is partially subsumed by check_ws2812, but the raw-observation use case justifies keeping both.

Coverage spans listing, capturing, and judging for timing/events/serial/WS2812/DShot, but the contract lifecycle is thin: list_contracts exists with no create/update/delete or contract-authoring operation, and raw-only capture exists for WS2812 but not for DShot or serial. These are workable but notable gaps for a contract-driven validation toolset.
