Scored across 5 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: keyword search, location search, topic-filtered search, top stories, and trending terms. No two tools overlap in functionality.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case (e.g., get_news_by_keyword, get_trending_terms), making the set predictable and easy to navigate.
Five tools cover the core news and trends functionality without being too sparse or excessive. Each tool contributes a unique capability.
The surface covers major news access patterns (keyword, location, topic, top stories) and adds trending terms. Minor gaps exist, like time-range filtering or source-specific searches, but the set feels complete for most common use cases.
