Scored across 9 tools
Each tool targets a distinct task: department discovery, course listing, course details, prerequisites, replacements, and student category queries. Even the closely related list_program_courses and get_thesis_courses are clearly separated by their filtered scope.
The majority of tools follow a get_<entity> pattern, with search_departments and list_program_courses as understandable discovery-action variants. The mix of get/list/search is minor and predictable, so the naming remains coherent.
Nine tools is a well-scoped size for this domain, covering catalog browsing, course details, and student-specific curriculum queries without unnecessary overlap or bloat. Each tool earns its place.
The surface covers department lookup, course listings, detailed course information, prerequisites, replacements, and student course categories. Minor gaps like a keyword course search or section-level enrollment details exist, but the core workflows are complete.
