Scored across 6 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no ambiguity: adding credit, adding/editing/deleting expenses, listing expenses, and summarizing expenses. The descriptions clearly differentiate between credit operations, expense CRUD operations, and analytical functions.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case naming: add_credit, add_expense, delete_expense, edit_expense, list_expenses, summarize. The single verb 'summarize' without a noun is appropriate for its analytical function and maintains readability.
Six tools is well-scoped for an expense tracking server, covering core operations without bloat. Each tool earns its place: credit management, full expense CRUD, listing, and summarization provide complete workflow coverage.
The tool surface covers most essential expense tracking operations including credit management and expense lifecycle. A minor gap exists in credit operations (no edit/delete credit tools), but agents can work around this limitation effectively.
