TDQS
Scored across 8 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no overlap. Record, show, settle, undo, start, add, query, and list actions are uniquely identifiable.
All names use snake_case and mostly follow verb_noun pattern. 'what_do_i_owe' is a phrase rather than a verb_noun, but it remains clear and consistent in style.
With 8 tools, the set is well-scoped for a household expense tracker, covering core actions without excess or deficiency.
Core lifecycle actions are covered, including recording, settling, undoing, household creation, member addition, and queries. Missing explicit edit/delete but undo_last partially compensates.
