    A4.1/5.0

    Scored across 3 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool has a distinct purpose: search for games, get metadata, and get reviews. There is no overlap between searching, fetching details, and fetching reviews, so an agent will not confuse them.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tool names follow a clear verb_noun pattern: search_store, get_store_details, get_app_reviews. The consistent use of imperative verbs and specific resource nouns makes the set predictable.

    Tool Count5/5

    Three tools is an appropriate, focused scope for a Steam storefront server. Each tool provides a necessary capability without unnecessary bloat.

    Completeness4/5

    The core workflow of searching for a game and viewing its details and reviews is fully covered. Minor gaps exist such as listing trending or new releases, but for the stated purpose of storefront metadata and reviews, the surface is complete enough.
