Each tool performs a distinct action—lookup, search, categorize, reply, escalate, create, list—with no functional overlap. The descriptions explicitly differentiate when to use send_reply vs. create_escalation despite both ending the ticket.

All seven tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in lowercase snake_case (lookup_customer, search_docs, set_category, send_reply, create_escalation, create_ticket, list_open_tickets). There is no mixing of conventions or stray verbs.

Seven tools is well-scoped for a support-ticket agent: each tool maps to one step in the workflow without redundancy or bloat. The count feels intentional rather than padded.

The set covers the full support workflow—customer lookup, docs grounding, categorization, resolution, escalation, ticket creation, and listing. Minor gaps like a dedicated get_ticket or internal note action exist, but they are not required for the core automated support loop.
