B3.4/5.0

Scored across 2 tools

Disambiguation5/5

The two tools, getStockQuote and getHistoricalData, are clearly distinct: one provides current real-time data while the other provides historical time-series data. There is no overlap or ambiguity in their purposes.

Naming Consistency5/5

Both tool names follow the same pattern: 'get' plus a descriptive noun in camelCase. This is consistent and predictable, making it easy for an agent to infer the action and resource.

Tool Count3/5

With only two tools, the server feels thin for a financial data service. While the two tools cover basic stock quote and historical data needs, the count is at the lower boundary of what is considered reasonable for a domain-focused server.

Completeness3/5

The server covers fundamental stock data retrieval (current and historical), but lacks other common financial data operations such as company fundamentals, options chains, or market indices. The surface is functional but minimal.
