check_project and check_versions both return EOL status for versions, but their inputs are clearly different (project files vs. explicit version pairs), so ambiguity is low. product_lifecycle is distinct, providing product-level release cycle information rather than checking specific versions. The slight overlap between checking a project's versions and checking explicit versions is resolvable from the descriptions.

Two tools follow a verb_noun pattern (check_project, check_versions) with the same verb 'check', but product_lifecycle is a noun phrase without a verb, breaking the pattern. This is a minor inconsistency, and the names are still readable and intuitive, but a more consistent convention (e.g., get_product_lifecycle) would improve coherence.

With 3 tools, the server is well-scoped for its purpose. Each tool covers a distinct need: scanning project files, checking explicit versions, and retrieving product lifecycle details. There is no redundancy or scope creep, and the count sits comfortably within the ideal 3-15 range.

The tool set covers the core end-of-life checking workflows: scanning project files, checking arbitrary version strings, and exploring a product's release lifecycle. This addresses the primary use cases without obvious dead ends. The only minor gap might be a dedicated single-version lookup, but check_versions handles that trivially by passing one version, so coverage feels complete.
