Scored across 12 tools
Each tool targets a distinct task: searching flights, multi-city, price history, insights, calendar, cabin comparison, tracking, route listing, airport lookup, nearby airports, URL generation, and layover analysis. No significant overlap.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., search_flights, get_price_history, analyze_layovers), making naming predictable and clear.
12 tools is well-scoped for a flight search and tracking service, covering core functionalities without being excessive or lacking.
The tool set covers searching (one-way, round-trip, multi-city), price tracking, airport lookup, and layover analysis. Minor gaps exist, such as no tool to stop tracking a route, but overall it's comprehensive.
