Scored across 5 tools
The four specific lookup tools (medication, diagnosis, lab test, procedure) have clearly distinct purposes. However, medlineplus_connect is a low-level utility that overlaps with all of them, potentially causing confusion if an agent chooses it over the more specific tool.
Four tools use a consistent 'lookup_' prefix, but medlineplus_connect breaks this pattern with a different naming style. The inconsistency is noticeable but not chaotic.
Five tools is a reasonable number for the domain, covering the main clinical code systems (RXCUI, ICD, LOINC, CPT, SNOMED). The count is not excessive and fits the scope well.
The tools cover the major MedlinePlus lookup categories (medication, diagnosis, lab, procedure). The general medlineplus_connect tool fills potential gaps, though a dedicated health-topic search tool might be missing.
