Scored across 14 tools
search_products and customer_search_products are nearly identical in purpose, differing only by implied audience, which creates ambiguity. Other tools are distinct and clearly separated by resource/action.
Most tools follow a verb_noun pattern (search_products, get_product_details, list_merchant_orders, etc.). customer_search_products breaks this by prepending a noun, and a couple of verbs vary, but the overall convention is mostly consistent.
14 tools is within the ideal range and each shopping-related tool serves a clear purpose. However, the inclusion of travel-specific tools (visa guidance, insurance) dilutes the focus and makes the set slightly less cohesive.
The shopping surface covers search, details, stock update, orders, and promotions, but lacks product creation/deletion and order placement. Coupon management is partial (create/list only), and travel tools are advisory with no booking flow, leaving notable gaps.
