Scored across 3 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct function: search_articles performs query-based search with advanced filters, get_article_by_link retrieves a specific article by URL, and list_sources provides metadata on available news sources. There is no overlap or ambiguity between them.
All three tools follow the same verb_noun pattern: search_articles, get_article_by_link, list_sources. This is perfectly consistent and predictable, making the tool surface easy to navigate.
Three tools is well-scoped for a financial news article service. Each tool covers a distinct, necessary operation (search, retrieve by URL, list sources) without redundancy or unnecessary bloat.
The tool set covers the full lifecycle of accessing articles: discovering sources, searching/filtering articles, and retrieving full details by URL. There are no obvious missing operations for the stated purpose of financial news lookup with sentiment analysis.
