Scored across 8 tools
Each tool targets a distinct data type and action: searching current listings, searching sold comps, fetching listing details, property records, value estimates, rent estimates, market stats, and comparing listings. Even the two search tools are clearly separated by active vs. sold status. No meaningful overlap between tools.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case: 'search_' for searches, 'get_' for retrievals, and 'compare_' for comparison. This is highly predictable and makes the tool set easy to navigate.
8 tools is well within the ideal 3-15 range for a focused real estate data server. Each tool covers a distinct core operation (search, detail, estimates, stats) without unnecessary bloat. The count feels perfectly scoped to the server's purpose.
The server covers the full range of read-only property data needs: active listings, recent sales, property records, valuation, rent estimation, and market trends. The only notable gap is the absence of rental listing search despite 'RentCast' branding, but this is minor given the rent estimate tool and the overall breadth.
